It all began in when the company introduced Fuller’s Premium Liquid Fish Glue, which was known to “cement everything” from tin cans for mechanics to barrels for factories. Fueled by the success of his first adhesive, Harvey Fuller formulated more specialized adhesives, including Fuller’s Premium Wet Paste Adhesive used for gluing shoes, hanging wallpaper, mending books, attaching labels and manufacturing boxes. And, we’ve been solutions-minded since our earliest days. Harvey Fuller invented adjustable scaffolding so wet paste adhesive customers could hang wallpaper more safely. Throughout our history, H.B. Fuller has built upon our knowledge to continually innovate. From the first hot pick-up “gum” to being one of the first U.S. companies to specialize in waterproof adhesives, H.B. Fuller has paved the way for adhesives to improve products and lives across the globe. Today, our focus on innovation brings together people, products and processes that answer and solve some of the world’s biggest adhesion challenges.

Aligned with the Group’s unique strategy to leverage its three synergistic Specialty Materials segments, this broad product range combines our technological expertise in the adhesives market, strengthened by the recent acquisition of Ashland Performance Adhesives, and Arkema’s leading acrylic value chain solutions. In a market growing at an estimated –% p.a., the comprehensive offering, marketed under the Bostik brand, will consolidate Arkema’s market leading position.
