ABRABOND LTD is one of the leading UK producers and suppliers of adhesives to woodworking, furniture and joinery manufacturers.  Products from our innovative A RANGE of wood glues and hot melt adhesives have been specially developed to meet the most demanding applications in the engineered wood, veneering, laminating and assembly sectors.  The comprehensive range includes PVA glues, conventional hot melt adhesives, Polyurethane (PUR) hot melts, waterproof liquid PU's, UF resins, PU dispersions, solvent based adhesives and sealants.

Our company began trading in the mid 1980's, initially specialising in the supply of coated abrasives to the Furniture Industry.  We then diversified into adhesives and today ABRABOND LTD is one of the foremost independent suppliers and manufacturers of industrial adhesives in the U.K.  The company was formed by, and is run today by its Managing Director, Ian Crowther-Green.  Abrabond Ltd., Abrabond (North) Ltd., and Adseal are members of the Corzak Group of adhesive companies.  Our water-based manufacturing plant is in Accrington, Lancashire.

 


ADHESIVES

In 1990 we began to diversify, and quickly focused on developing and promoting tailor-made industrial adhesives specifically for use in the woodworking and furniture sectors.  This proved a very successful venture and today, over 90% of our activity centres around the production and sale of industrial adhesives for a number of industries.  We focus on industrial products and do not promote adhesives into the retail sector.  In 2015 we began to manufacture our own water based adhesives in our Lancashire factory.  Our site in Kidderminster, West Midlands, has six adhesive filling lines and we re-pack from bulk into packs as small as 125 grams.  We offer a complete range of pack sizes for our water-based, solvent based and PU adhesives.  Our filling equipment is state-of-the-art and is extremely accurate.  We are happy to accommodate the needs of customers who require own-labelling in order to promote their own brands.  Our re-packing and filling equipment is so flexible that we are happy to offer to own-label customer adhesives not only in large volume runs but also where small quantity bespoke products are requested.  Please contact our sales office to discuss your special requirements.  Local deliveries are serviced using our own transport.

In August 2004 we opened a second warehouse and sales office in Bradford, Yorkshire, in order to better service our customers in Northern England.  We also use accurately calibrated small pack filling facilities in this warehouse.  Our products are supplied ex. stock from both locations.  We use our own vehicle to make rapid local deliveries throughout Yorkshire and Humberside.
