II. Historical Context and Establishment
Origins
Ashfoam was founded in 1978 by visionary industrialist Mr. Robert Habib Hitti, marking the beginning of a homegrown industrial story in Ghana’s manufacturing sector. Originally focused on the production of polyurethane foam materials, Ashfoam’s foundation stood on the goal of providing high-quality foam to meet domestic needs, at a time when imported products dominated the market. 
Across the 1970s and 1980s, Ghana’s manufacturing sector faced significant structural challenges, including limited industrial capacity, foreign exchange constraints, and competition from imported goods. Ashfoam’s inception represented a strategic response to these dynamics — leveraging local production capabilities to fill a critical gap in the market for foam products essential in mattresses, upholstery, and insulation industries.
