National Vulcanized Fiber

One of its original products, a sheet-like material called Forbon, was commonly used on guitar pickups.

[2] NVF also made a product called Yorkite, another vulcanized fibre, that has wood grain printed directly on the material.

NVF stopped manufacturing Vulcanized Fibre in Yorklyn after a flood in 2003 damaged the equipment.

Corporate offices continued to operate until 2009, when they declared bankruptcy and dissolved the company,[3] including the Kennett Square facility which made Industrial Plastic Laminates.

[8] NVF was involved in a dispute with the city of Holyoke, Massachusetts about unpaid taxes on a paper factory there which was later destroyed by fire.
