PROFILE |
 |
What happened when an automotive molding firm took time off to play? POOF! Suddenly, foam was seen in a new light. Founded in the early 1980s, POOF Products makes and sells polyurethane foam toys, including footballs, basketballs, airplanes, puzzles (some in animal and race-car shapes), and floatable ABCs that stick to bathtub walls. The toys, made mostly in the US, are sold through retailers in North America. The company's James Industries unit makes Slinky-brand toys -- Slinky inventor Richard James had the idea in 1944 while watching a spring fall from a desk. President and CEO Ray Dallavecchia and EVP Douglas Ferner own POOF Products.
