Those of us at Franklin Adhesives & Polymers who focus on serving the wood products market are starting this new year with optimism.
Numerous leading indicators suggest that the housing industry is coming back. We believe the economic decline is behind us, and barring possible economic catastrophes, the housing industry, and the companies that manufacture wood products for it, can continue building momentum into the year.
Franklin Adhesives & Polymers has never before been so poised to take advantage of a growing economy. Our R&D team never slowed down; the lab has been busy broadening our line of water-based adhesive technologies to meet the demand for environmentally-safe products that also meet the highest criteria for performance. Our wood adhesives for millwork and flooring don’t just meet ASTM and other industry standards; they easily surpass them!
We also have continued to build the strongest professional representation and technical service teams in the business. Last year, we announced the addition of two established distributors/representatives – Lanco Adhesives, in New Jersey; and Minnesota-based
Applied Adhesives – to enhance our ability to serve customers in the North East and Midwest regions. And our highly respected technical support team stands ready to ensure that our customers get the best adhesive for the job and apply these adhesives correctly for optimum performance.
All of us are united in our commitment to serving our customers – and helping us realize our corporate vision: “To be the most trusted adhesion company in the world.”
We look forward to working with you in 2013 and the years beyond.
