H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE: FUL), a leading global company specialized in industrial adhesives, industrial coatings, industrial sealants and specialty materials, announced that it has acquired the business of UK-based Sanglier Limited, one of Europe’s largest independently owned manufacturers and fillers of sprayable (aerosol and canister) industrial
adhesives.
The acquisition broadens H.B. Fuller's ability to innovate and enhances its range of products in the UK and Europe, with a particular focus on the Construction Adhesives and Engineering Adhesives sectors. This complements the technologies acquired from Apollo and Fourny, as well as spray capabilities developed in the United States.
“Transforming adhesive applications to enable sprayable delivery provides end users with an opportunity to greatly improve labor efficiency. This is particularly valuable in today’s tight labor market and is a key megatrend that H.B. Fuller is applying its unique innovation capabilities toward to enable our customers’ success,” commented Boz Malik, senior vice president, H.B. Fuller Construction Adhesives. “Sanglier shares a similar business model, which includes providing customized, high-quality solutions to support and develop our customers’ brands.
This acquisition will strengthen the integration of our adhesive manufacturing and packaging capabilities, which we will leverage to generate a strong market advantage in terms of operations, innovation, and service.”
The team of nearly 60 employees will operate within H.B. Fuller’s existing Construction Adhesives global business unit.
