H.B. Fuller acquires Beardow Adams
H.B. Fuller, the biggest pure play adhesives company in the world, has acquired Beardow Adams, a UK-based family-owned business that has grown since its establishment in 1976 into a proven multinational industrial adhesive manufacturer, with customers in more than 70 countries. With manufacturing capabilities across Europe and the US, and a powerful
distribution network across the globe, Beardow Adams is recognised for its commitment to quality and service across a variety of industry applications. The acquisition is expected to accelerate profitable growth in many of
H.B. Fuller’s core end markets and generate business synergies through production optimization, an expanded distribution platform, and difference- making innovation. Jim East, executive vice president, hygiene, health, and consumable
adhesives, at H.B. Fuller, said: “Combining the two companies is an exciting move toward H.B. Fuller’s goal of strengthening our leadership position in the markets and regions we serve by expanding our customer base and technology portfolio to address today’s megatrends, such as e-commerce, food safety, and sustainability. “As we combine our businesses, we will be a stronger force in the
adhesives industry.” Beardow Adams generated approximately £114 million in sales for the 2022 financial year. With a team of 200 employees globally, the company will operate within H.B. Fuller’s existing hygiene, health, and consumable adhesives global business unit.

Breakfast cereals firm converts packaging to a more sustainable solution from Sonoco
Breakfast cereals manufacturer OneDayMore has converted its packaging to a more sustainable solution, manufactured by Sonoco. OneDayMore strives to help people take
care of their health – and the planet – with its natural, nutritious, and easy-to-prepare breakfast products, including muesli, granola
and porridge. The company said the next, obvious path
for its development was a move towards more sustainable packaging – and Sonoco helped it to achieve this goal by converting its current packaging to EnviroCan with paper-bottom. Wojciech Mlodawski, procurement director,
at OneDayMore, said: “We wanted to design our packaging in a way that used the most environmentally friendly raw materials possible.”
