H.B. Fuller Acquires Adhesive Manufacturer Sanglier

H. B. FULLER COMPANY, the largest pureplay adhesives company in the world, has acquired the business of UK-based Sanglier Limited.

Kirkby in Ashfield-based Sanglier is one of Europe’s largest independently owned manufacturers and fillers of sprayable (aerosol and canister) industrial adhesives.

Sanglier Acquisition

The acquisition expands H.B. Fuller’s manufacturing footprint, innovation capabilities, and product portfolio across the UK and Europe, particularly in the Construction Adhesives and Engineering Adhesives businesses. It complements technologies obtained through the acquisitions of Apollo and Fourny and spray capabilities acquired and developed in the United States.

Boz Malik, senior vice president, H.B. Fuller Construction Adhesives, said: “Transforming adhesive applications to enable sprayable delivery provides end users with an opportunity to greatly improve labour 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.

“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.

H.B. Fuller’s net revenue was $3.75 billion in 2022.
