H.B. Fuller reopens state-of-the-art adhesive facility in Blois, France
H.B. Fuller celebrated the official opening of its refurbished plant and laboratory in the historic town of Blois, France. The ceremony was attended by the local Mayor, Marc Gricourt, together with employees and representatives from the company’s leadership team.
The redevelopment of H.B. Fuller’s Blois plant is part of the company’s three-year transformation of its EIMEA (Europe, India, Middle East, Africa) operations. This €70 million strategic investment programme, which will be completed this year, will increase production capacity to support the region’s growing demand for adhesives in a wide range of industries, including packaging, durable assembly, converting and graphic arts. The programme also gives manufacturers access to the latest technical facilities, leading-edge adhesive thinking and innovative technology – all on their doorstep.
As Steve Kenny, senior vice president, EIMEA, of H.B. Fuller confirms, “H.B. Fuller has an outstanding track record of innovation in the adhesive industry by connecting people, process and products to solve some of the biggest challenges manufacturing companies face today. The investment in the Blois facility demonstrates our commitment to helping customers grow competitively. The laboratory provides our R&D professionals and applications experts with an environment in which they can be at their most creative. With some of the very best tools and equipment, they can work collaboratively with customers and strategic partners.”
