News from Sika regarding its 2020 financial results and an upcoming leadership transition drew the most reader interest last week (Meridian Adhesives Group Acquires GENTEC and FT Polymer): “Meridian Adhesives Group recently announced its acquisition of GENTEC and FT Polymer, two Europe-based adhesive suppliers for the electronics, medical, aerospace, and automotive industries. The companies’ range of products includes adhesives, encapsulants, coatings, UV-curing technology, and dispensing equipment. The two companies will be joining Meridian’s Electronics Division and working directly with Epoxy Technology Europe under the guidance of Nicolas Schwarz, managing director.

“‘After years of working with GENTEC and FT Polymer, we are excited to have these two well-established companies joining Meridian,’ said Schwarz. ‘I am looking forward to the expertise they will bring to our Electronics Division.’”
