    "Permabond’s history of developing and manufacturing engineering adhesives spans five decades and three continents. Today, Permabond Engineering Adhesives Ltd (Europe & Asia) and Permabond LLC (Americas) provide technological solutions to engineers all over the world, with offices and facilities in America, Asia, and Europe, backed by a high-tech ISO 9001 certified production plant in Europe.Permabond’s first moments started in the UK, early in the 1960s. For years, manufacturers had no choice but to rely on mechanical means of locking nuts and bolts. The high rate of failure due to equipment vibrations required a more reliable means of locking fasteners on equipment and finished goods. Chemists at Borden Chemicals (UK) seized this opportunity to develop a special anaerobic adhesive sealant that cured to a solid plastic when used between metal surfaces in the absence of oxygen. As predicted, these adhesives were well received by the manufacturing sector, and business expanded rapidly. Avdel Ltd spotted this growth and quickly moved to purchase this business from Borden Chemical. As the business continued to grow, they moved to a larger facility on Woodside Road in Eastleigh. The market for adhesives and sealants that could meet the engineering needs of industry was apparent, even at this early date. Avdel invested heavily in Research & Development, creating a number of anaerobic products to seal threaded pipes and fittings, retain bearings and press-fit parts, and form-in-place gaskets. Meanwhile, in Florida, United States, three men in the jewelry distribution business ‘accidentally’ discovered cyanoacrylate adhesive and its ability to bond pearls into jewelry. They formed a company called Pearl Chemical and sold cyanoacrylate adhesive for this purpose. One of the three owners came up with the idea to suspend a farm tractor from a crane, held by nothing except a drop of cyanoacrylate! The picture was used on some of the earliest cyanoacrylate packaging."

Our products are currently used in everything from electronics to automobile parts, industrial machinery, sporting goods, and other items for daily-use. We deliver products to markets mainly in Japan, Europe, China, and Southeast Asia, but our reach is global. Thanks to your continued support and patronage, we now offer over 900 types of products to over 1,000 companies both inside and outside of Japan. In 2003, we became an affiliated member of the Arakawa Chemical Industries, Ltd. Group, further strengthening our development capabilities and allowing us to proceed with the development of products which make full use of new materials and synthesis technologies. In 2007, we established a new head office, an R&D center, and a factory for the production of liquid-based products in Hadano City, Japan. In 2011, we began operations at a factory geared towards the production of conductive materials—replete with its own clean environments—and since then have been moving forward in the development of other production environments and facilities that can produce new types of products. Moving forward, the company will strive to create new and innovative products that bring forth new forms of wealth creation to our customers. We will do this by quickly adapting to the ever-evolving needs and technological trends of the modern world, including those relating to environmental issues, the electrification of the automobile, and the automobile industry's increasing demand for ever lighter materials and parts."

    "Chemline was founded in a garage in 1997 by John Pantanella. Three years before founding the company, he worked in the industry and gained the knowledge and experience needed while working nights and weekends on his own formulas that would eventually be Chemline’s first products. In the early days of the company, Chemline rented lab, office and warehouse space and shared a few key staff members with another coating manufacturer. While this company answered phones and handled logistics, John focused on selling and technically supporting the products. After 8 months, a steel tank manufacturer gave Chemline its first order, and word began to spread about the performance of Chemline products and exceptional service. With the help of a consulting firm, Chemline took the necessary steps to help with the burst in growth by hiring talented chemists and technical experts from the industry (all of which are still with us today). By adding key personnel, Chemline was positioned to grow again and over the next 7 years, producing $12M in revenue. The decision was made to purchase a building located in St Louis, MO and Chemline began manufacturing its own product in 2004. After attracting a few industry pros, Chemline began to grow again and made several successful acquisitions. In 2010 sales hit $17 M and Chemline was on a roll! We purchased more buildings, more equipment and one more business – TA Davies. TA Davies gave Chemline a footprint on the west coast and our message resonated with consumers. The California business grew from $1.5M to $10M in revenue in 4 years, and by 2015, Chemline had grown to $50M in revenue.
