Scott Bader to open additional structural adhesives facility

Scott Bader (Wellingborough, U.K.) has announced the investment of a new adhesives facility in Earls Barton, U.K., which is due for completion this month. It has been introduced to improve the existing production provision
and is part of the company’s ongoing succession plan to meet growing international demand for structural adhesives, particularly in specialty markets like the automotive industry.

“From the moment you walk through the converted grade two listed building in Wollaston, it strikes you that here’s a company that has been doing the right thing for a very long time,” says Deklyn Barnes, product manager and U.K. sales development –  adhesives & tooling at Scott Bader Co. “We became a top 10 global adhesive manufacturer in 2021, not only because of our leading adhesives, but because of the company’s ethos. From its forward-thinking structure early on, to the fact that the broader sustainability agenda has always been part of our makeup, Scott Bader’s success has been built on its investment in humanity, business and ecology.”

Coupled with recent investment in a third North American site, Scott Bader’s global coverage now totals seven manufacturing plants and 16 offices worldwide. On the back of these developments, the company is currently recruiting for some 70+ roles, globally, with opportunities across manufacturing, HR, R&D, sales, marketing, operations, IT and applications.
