The Industry Leaders in Hot Melt Adhesive Technology for 40 Years!

Developing Innovative Bon

Forty years ago, I founded Adhesive Technologies, Inc., along with two other partners.

All of us had worked for the Dexter Corporation, now a part of the adhesive group of the Henkel Corporation. From the beginning, AdTech’s mission has been to bring new and innovative bonding systems to the market which make using hot melt adhesives easier and more effective. During the intervening years, our focus on that mission has led to some of the most innovative hot melt and liquid application systems ever developed. In fact, with 50 patents to our name, AdTech’s systems are recognized worldwide as being reliable, precise and durable. We have designd and developed innovative applicators for Stanley, Black & Decker, 3M, Dremel, Snap-On Tools and other top brands across the globe.

Our focus on adhesive systems was not limited to the applicators, however. We’ve designed and developed hundreds of adhesives for our applicators, as well as bulk applicator systems for sprayable hot melts. We were the first company in the world to introduce a low temperature hot melt adhesive, and more recently have developed the first general purpose “stringless” hot melt, with exceptional bonding, as well. Our development lab benefits from more than 150 years of adhesive formulating experience, as well as vast knowledge of other adhesive chemistries beyond hot melt.

We have expanded our system development beyond hot melts into transfer pressure sensitive tapes and glue dots, as well as caulking application systems. We will continue to stretch our system developments into new adhesive chemistries, as we strongly believe that the evolution of adhesives will require new and unique application systems to make their use easier and more effective.

So, even after 40 years as the leader in hot melt adhesives, we are enthusiastically evolving new systems to address the growing needs of every user, in every market. There are no better adhesive systems in the world — each has been designed with a clear understanding of the user’s needs, and what they require for better bonding solutions.

You will not be disappointed — that is my guarantee.

Asparagus and Hot Melt A Recipe for Success

When a California farm ran into issues sealing the corrugated plastic boxes they use to pack their produce, they came to AdTech for our knowledge and expertise. With thousands of pounds of asparagus already harvested, the farm didn’t just need an effective solution, it needed it quickly—otherwise, the crop would be lost.

Drawing upon 40 years of experience, our in-house lab quickly analyzed the specific materials and applications. Within 24 hours we matched the right glue to the job, allowing the farm to be back up and running within 48 hours, saving the crop.

This is only one example of how AdTech brings adhesive science and application technology together.

With AdTech, you don’t just get a supplier, you get a partner. No matter your situation, we’re here to help.
