What makes a good adhesives supplier?
Every adhesives application is unique, complex and challenging. Choosing and evaluating an adhesive involves considering every aspect of the application, from design to production to processing, in line with the business’ priorities, like performance, productivity or process improvement. Because of this, manufacturers commonly look to adhesives specialists to support them with product selection and integration.
