Welcome to the ASI Top 20, our annual feature detailing the leading worldwide manufacturers of adhesives and sealants. To develop the ranking, we worked diligently to target sales figures (and other details) focused specifically on adhesives and sealants.

Adhesives and sealants are truly everywhere, and their use is growing daily: from the cars we drive and the homes we build to the planes we fly in and the phones that we rely on so much.

Which events does your company focus its efforts on, and why?

We’ve seen a lot of acquisitions in the past couple of weeks. What do you think is prompting all of this M&A activity?

At a basic level, distributors facilitate the sale and delivery of products between suppliers and end users.

I’ve been watching a lot of the FIFA Women’s World Cup matches, and the level of competition has really kicked up since the 2015 event. It’s great to watch experienced, well-honed teams like England and France work together with such skill and efficiency. I can’t help but draw parallels to the successful partnerships we see between distributors, raw materials and chemicals suppliers, and manufacturers and end users in the adhesives and sealants industry.
