molded polyurethane.
H&D's first part was produced in 1978: foam for Bill Mayer Saddles. H&D Molding was started in June 1981 by Jim Wimbish. The company changed ownership in 2006 and became part of Urethane Science Inc.
H&D's products are made by hand. The company serves automotive restoration, military and aerospace safety, roll bar padding, and motorcycle and automotive seating applications.
In-house capabilities include a machine shop and tool facility. H&D is bringing machinery, technology and know-how from Italy.
