The monthly roundup from Editor Teresa McPherson.

While summertime is a slow period for many, we’ve yet to see a slowdown in a few areas of our industry.

Our editorial staff is keeping up to date on them all; to see our extensive Price Adjustments table (current as of press time), visitwww.adhesivesmag.com/CDA/Price_Adjustments.
