Our parent company Arkema finalized on 28 February 2022 the acquisition of Ashland’s Performance Adhesives business, a first-class leader in high performance adhesives in the United States. This operation marks a major step in Arkema’s strengthening of its Adhesive Solutions segment, and fully aligns with the Group’s strategy to become a pure Specialty Materials player by 2024.

This project is in line with Bostik’s strategy to build a strong position in the attractive engineering adhesives market and to accelerate its development in the fast-growing electronics market, especially in Asia.

Bostik joins forces with Nordmeccanica over the purchase of world-class lamination equipment, strengthening its position in flexible lamination in the wake of the acquisition of Ashland’s high performance adhesive and in-line with Arkema’s sustainability strategy.
