 "Bostik's adhesive plant in Dallas, USA")
The adhesive maker Bostik, a company of the Arkema group, opened its plant in Dallas (USA) to produce ceramic tile adhesives (CTA) and floor preparation products. The opening of the new facility follows recent plant inaugurations in India, Malaysia and Brazil and will complement Bostik’s existing manufacturing presence in the US.
Bob Marquette, senior vice president – Americas, Bostik, stated, “Dallas is a key market for new construction, and having production located near demand centres is a critical component of our business development strategy for the construction market. Our new Dallas plant will enable us to provide our customers with superior on-site technical service, reduced freight costs, timely and convenient delivery and a centrally located fulfilment warehouse.”
The tiling and floor preparation products being manufactured at the Dallas facility are based on Bostik’s Polymer Modified Binder (PMB) technology platform which remains a focus of its ongoing innovation, research and development activities. The highly automated design of the facility will offer a positive impact on safety, quality and productivity. In addition to production, the Dallas location also offers an onsite training and demonstration facility.
