The beginning
When Beardow Adams was established in 1977, we were convinced of the tremendous growth potential for hot melt adhesives across manufacturing industry.
We made the decision to focus on hot melt adhesives – concentrating on developing products specifically tailored to our customers' needs.
We set our own very high standards of performance and quality, targeting potential users who were themselves growing – offering innovation, quality, reliability and service.
Since those early days, Beardow Adams has continued to grow and is now a major force in the international hot melt adhesive market. It remains a privately owned company.
