Expanded Technologies Corp. is a Kenosha, Wisconsin-based manufacturer focused on protective products for floors and furniture. The company traces its origins to Richard Bushey, whose 1981 invention of peel-and-stick heavy-duty felt pads aimed to shield floors from scratches, gouges, and dents caused by moving furniture and to reduce strain on joints. The business was established in 1987 and has since developed a portfolio of surface-protection solutions, holding multiple related patents and ranking among the top three U.S. providers in its category. Its products are designed for a wide range of environments, including homes, offices, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, and schools, where furniture movement contributes to maintenance costs. The line has broadened beyond the original felt pads to additional protection options, reflecting ongoing invention in the field.
