Foam Organization

Material and Construction


We use USA-made, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) foam, a closed-cell material that won't absorb liquids. Each organizer has two layers that are permanently heat-laminated together, with densities that are selected to produce clean, tear-resistant cutouts and a secure fit for each tool.

Foam socket organizers being cut

Cut in Michigan


We design and CNC-cut each foam organizer in our Grand Rapids, Michigan, manufacturing facility to optimize for high tool density, easy access, and secure fit of Tekton tools.
