Gluecom has acquired Adhesives Direct, an outstanding adhesives distributor based in the UK, which now forms part of the group.

This strategic union builds upon our mission to create a network of adhesive experts. Adhesives Direct brings 80+ years of combined technical knowledge on water-based, hot-melt, and solvent-based adhesives for packaging, woodworking, and construction sectors.

The company stands out for its comprehensive product range and technical prowess. Their range includes EVA, Metallocene/Polyolefin, and PUR hot-melt systems, alongside an extensive water-based portfolio featuring PVA, VAE, and Acrylic solutions. They've built their success on four key pillars: quality, reliability, efficiency, and innovation.

Joining forces creates new opportunities for both organisations. Our combined strengths will serve customers better through expanded product ranges and enhanced technical support. The union supports our goal of bringing leading manufacturers together while maintaining what makes each company unique.

Adhesives Direct will continue operating, keeping their experienced team and maintaining their commitment to 24-hour UK delivery service. Their established relationships with customers from the UK to New Zealand will remain unchanged.

We welcome Adhesives Direct's team, customers, and partners to the Gluecom family as we work together to create outstanding adhesive solutions.
