ROMEOVILLE, IL, Oct 23, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – Formerra, a leader in performance materials distribution, announced today that it has been named a Platinum Partner in H.B. Fuller’s Channel Partnership Program. This partnership positions the company to lead distribution efforts for H.B. Fuller’s Cilbond® adhesives across North America and builds on over a decade of distribution success at Suministro de Especialidades (“Suministro”), a leading Mexican distributor acquired by Formerra in late 2023.
Suministro has played a pivotal role in advancing applications for Cilbond throughout Mexico. Formerra will complement this established relationship to deliver H.B. Fuller’s innovative Cilbond bonding agents to the broader North American market, offering a unique combination of technical expertise, sustainable solutions, and customer support. Combined with Formerra’s expansive reach, this will enable support for manufacturers in streamlining their processes and improving production.
The Cilbond product line offers specialized bonding agents that cater to Power Grid, Transportation, Industrial, Oil, Gas & Mining industries, and more.
Cilbond provides a variety of coating systems, ranging from the conventional two-coat system, known for its durability and bonding strength, to a cutting-edge one-coat system. Cilbond’s one-coat options deliver a streamlined solution, saving both time and cost for customers. With additional water-based options, Cilbond aligns with the growing demand for more sustainable products, enabling manufacturers to reduce their potential environmental impact without sacrificing performance.
“Our new relationship with Formerra marks a significant step forward in our North American growth strategy,” said Tim O’Neil, Managing Director at H.B. Fuller. “By combining Formerra’s strong portfolio of complementary materials and technical expertise with our innovative technology, we’re able to provide advanced solutions that meet the evolving needs of manufacturing customers. Together, we’re well-positioned to help them increase efficiency, reduce costs, and meet sustainability goals.”
“We’re confident that our deep technical capabilities, combined with Suministro’s proven track record, position us to maximize the potential of this partnership for both parties,” said Doug Zupan, Vice President of Operations at Formerra. “In bringing H.B. Fuller’s innovative bonding solutions to the rest of North America, we intend to deliver exceptional value and support to our customers.”
