company reviews feedback from each client it works with, ensur- ing that customers are complete- ly satisfied. The goal is to make every customer project a success, saving both time and money in the process. This personalized, one-on-one service is where Her- non shines.


An Engineer’s Manufacturer Hernon Manufacturing’s in-


novative “Total Solutions” posi- tively impact its customers’ busi- nesses, while adding significant value. This impact results in ex- panding sales and exports and is recognized by industry review- ers with a consistent stream of awards and honors including the Presidential “E” Award that the company recently received. This award recognizes companies that contribute to an ongoing ef- fort to increase U.S. exports. As a top adhesive manufac-


turer for engineers, Hernon pro- vides thread lockers and other adhesive supplies. Its products prevent joint loosening, resist corrosion and reduce leaks. The company has more than four decades of experience working directly with design, structural and manufacturing engineers, plant managers, and mechanics to overcome the wear and tear associated with moving parts. Its products streamline


manufacturing and prevent cost- ly damage to expensive machin- ery by reducing the weight of bolts/rivets, preventing stress concentration methods (welding riveting/bolting), offering superi- or fatigue-resistance over met- als, allowing bonding of dissimi- lar materials, providing sound dampening, enabling lighter weight and sealing assemblies. Hernon’s personalized cus-


tomer service is the most impor- tant, says Petersen. “We connect customers directly to our engi- neers, product designers or ad- hesive formulators,” he adds. “They get near-instant product recommendations from the very chemists who create the formu- las. That personalized customer service makes a real difference to the budget.” The company also is a


leader in eco-friendly adhesive innovation and has reduced or removed solvents from products used in multiple industries con- tributing to a safer, less haz- ardous workplace. From formulas to dispensing


equipment, the company provides everything customers need for a cost-effective, efficient adhesive solution that improves working conditions by reducing solvents in the air that affect their employ- ees, customers and staff. Hernon also helps with government appli- cations. The company is a proud supplier to the U.S. GSA, DLA,


and numerous individual agencies and facilities.


High Standards Hernon products continue to


serve as the preferred adhesives and sealants for key applications in fighter jets, nuclear sub- marines, armed vehicles, and more. Known as a technological world leader for ammunition sealants and application ma- chine technology, Hernon pro- vides trusted, MIL-SPEC prod- ucts for DoD applications. “Our dedication to providing


solutions for the military contin- ues to this day as our research


and development team pursues specialty sealants and coatings for ammunition, explosives, mines, missiles, and more to support mil- itary applications,” says Harry Arnon, co-founder and CEO. The company’s military-


grade adhesives carry National Stock Numbers (NSNs), making them easy to find. This work has made Hernon


an essential business under re- cent pandemic conditions, ensur- ing that the company stays a re- liable part of customer supply chains. The company also applies the same standards for military components to its products sold


in the private sector. As an additional benefit, the


company strives to help customers overcome product design chal- lenges. During development, every production decision impacts the price, functionality and dura- bility of the finished product. Hernon understands the im-


portance of proper product design and helps customers eliminate these challenges by drawing from its experience in stress distribu- tion, corrosion prevention and vi- brational loosening elimination. The company’s product de- signs can help eliminate future
