interzum forum italy Awards 2024 and 2026 recognizing SIMALFA® adhesive innovations

SIMALFA® 475-SGT Wins the interzum forum italy Award 2026

Two Forums, Two Awards

On June 4, 2026, SIMALFA® 475-SGT received the interzum forum italy Award, marking the second consecutive recognition for our adhesive technologies. At the forum’s inaugural event in 2024, our debonding adhesive SIMALFA® 365 was honored with the same award. Both awards were presented in the ESG & Sustainability category. We’re proud of this achievement and grateful for the recognition of our commitment to innovation and sustainability.

Every gram counts. And we can prove it.

SIMALFA® 475-SGT is making waves across our industry – and for good reason. We’re not the ones saying it. Our customers are.

For a long time, achieving high bond strength with minimal adhesive application was considered a contradiction. SIMALFA® 475-SGT changes that by pushing the boundaries of what is possible—or rather, what can be bonded. It delivers instant adhesion even on the most challenging materials, with application weights starting at just 20 g/m².

For mattress manufacturing, this means:

  • Lower adhesive costs per unit
  • Reduced production scrap and rework
  • Faster production flow
  • High product quality: the bond does not yellow and remains permanently soft and flexible

ESG & Sustainability

We received the award in the ESG & Sustainability category because the innovative, chloroprene-free formulation behind our Smart Glue Technology not only reduces costs but also significantly lowers material consumption. As a result, overall resource usage is substantially reduced.

In addition, SIMALFA® 475-SGT has the lowest Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) across the entire SIMALFA® portfolio, further supporting manufacturers in their efforts to improve sustainability and resource efficiency throughout the production process.

Quotation marks highlighting a statement from Thomas Simmler on SIMALFA® Smart Glue Technology

“We developed our Smart Glue Technology because we refuse to accept the status quo. Producing adhesive solutions is one thing. Mastering this level of chemical complexity to achieve results with minimal material consumption that were previously considered impossible is something entirely different. The fact that we have created a technological advantage unlike anything else on the market makes our entire team proud.”
