H.B. Fuller Announces Winners of Customer Innovation Award

Bin Dasmal General Trading Co. and Huhtamaki are the recipients of H.B. Fuller’s 2026 Customer Innovation Award. The annual awards recognize customers who have developed solutions delivering measurable advances in sustainability, safety, performance, or operational efficiency. Winners are selected based on innovation, market impact, technical achievement, and successful collaboration with H.B. Fuller teams.
The innovations recognized this year span diverse industries but share a common objective: applying science, engineering, and collaboration to solve real-world challenges and make products and systems more sustainable, efficient, and reliable.
Bin Dasmal General Trading Co. was recognized for developing an innovative prefabricated HVAC insulation system that improves protection against condensation and corrosion in hot, humid environments. In collaboration with H.B. Fuller, the company integrated Foster® NeoClad™ protective vapor barrier jacketing into an offsite prefabrication process that reduces installation time, improves long-term system reliability, and helps extend service life in demanding climate conditions.
Huhtamaki was recognized for ProDairy, an innovative recyclable paper-based dairy cup that significantly reduces polyethylene content (from 2PE to single poly-coating) and provides a high moisture barrier for products stored in chilled conditions. Working with H.B. Fuller, Huhtamaki leveraged a high-performance varnish to eliminate the need for an external PE layer while protecting against moisture and abrasion. The commercially scalable solution helps dairy producers reduce plastic use, improve recyclability, and advance circular packaging goals without compromising performance.
The award winners will be recognized during a celebration on September 29, 2026.
