Scott Bader has begun production of its innovative structural adhesives and gelcoats at a new £12.5m manufacturing facility in North Carolina. The development of the 15-acre site represents the company’s commitment to serving the needs of the North American market, coupled with recent expansion and investment in its Canadian facility. This will be beneficial for customers in the marine, renewables, e-mobility, and land transport markets seeking the strength, durability, flexibility, and lightweighting that structural adhesives and gelcoats offer.
“With the plant fully operational we can now produce our range of structural adhesives and gelcoats in the U.S – allowing us to significantly increase capacity globally and locally,” said Scott Bader’s CEO, Kevin Matthews. “Shorter lead times for our North American customers is good news, especially with the impact of global supply chain issues being experienced worldwide.”
