SWD Urethane was founded in Mesa, Arizona in 1972 by partners who saw an emerging market for polyurethane foam roofing. They realized that polyurethane foam roofs offered building owners better life-cycle cost as well as increased energy efficiency. They also realized the benefit of building relationships with customers to develop products and solutions that mattered. Their foresight has allowed SWD to be positioned today as a company that delivers quality products that help our customers grow their business.

In 1974, SWD began a systems house approach to the marketplace, and began developing a wide range of products for use across multiple market segments. SWD expanded their product offerings again in 1978 to include polyether polyols.

As a systems house, SWD has an exceptional lab processing team that gives SWD the ability to develop solutions based upon specific customer needs. Unlike commodity providers, SWD will work with customers to develop best-result solutions.
Today, SWD Urethane is lead by Steve Perkins, CEO and Jim Perkins, President. They are committed to continuing to maintaining independence and delivering meaningful polyurethane solutions to our customers.

After almost 40 years in business the future for SWD looks bright. It includes a commitment to increase market presence in the United States and Canada, as well as the continuing development of new products and solutions.
