I don’t know about you, but I’ve spent a fair amount of time over the past year or so just gazing around in bewilderment and mumbling, to no one in particular, “What is going on?” Global pandemic. Economic upheaval. Catastrophic weather events. What’s that you say? There’s a massive boat blocking the Suez Canal? Of course there is.
How is the industry dealing with supply chain volatility? What end-use markets are offering the most opportunities? Adhesives and sealants leaders share their thoughts on these issues and more.

The seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic entered the consciousness of most people I know (in the U.S., anyway) in March 2020. I specifically remember circling the date on the calendar when it truly sunk in for me: March 13. What a difference a year makes.
Before 2020, I always thought it would be fascinating to live through a truly “historic” time. The massive losses of the past year—both human and economic—have cured me of that naïve perspective. However, the continued upheaval has also shown how resilient, supportive, and innovative we can be in the face of multiple crises.
