Expanded Line of Print and Media Adhesives Makes Global Debut at Drupa

June 1, 2012

The print industry continues to thrive. That was a message that rang loud and clear at Drupa 2012, the world’s largest tradeshow for the print and media industry. It was exciting to be part of Drupa, which was held last month in Düsseldorf, Germany and brought together more than 314,000 attendees from every corner of the world.

 
Drupa, which takes place every four years, lived up to its reputation as a high-energy event that provides a pulse on what’s hot in the print and media industry. For H.B. Fuller, it offered an opportunity to debut our expanded line of print and media adhesive products and solutions, which is stronger than ever thanks to our recent acquisition of Forbo Group’s industrial adhesives business. 
 
At the heart of our display were some of our latest innovations, such as our:
  • Optipur™ adhesives, a range of PUR-based bookbinding products including side and spine glue for hard and soft cover and digital print, and featuring a new adhesive that meets the stringent regulations for reduced emissions in the workplace. 
  • Swift®tak 5580 adhesive for precise adhesive application by nozzle for the production of folding cartons at high speeds of 700m/min. 
  • Swift®tak adhesives for advanced inline web gluing used in leaflet production.
  • Ipacoll™ PWF 1030 adhesive, a new and innovative water-based product leveraging its polymer formulation capabilities for quick changeover and fast turnaround in Film2Print lamination.
We always enjoy meeting face-to-face with customers, potential and existing from around the world. It was a pleasure to attend Drupa and talk with hundreds of you from Europe, India, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, Latin America and North America to discuss how our adhesive innovations can help you further grow your business. 
 
If you didn’t attend the show, we would still love to talk with you. Contact us to discuss your adhesive needs, or visit www.hbfuller.com/graphic-arts to learn more about our products and services.
