Hot-melt adhesives for Biobased Packaging Market
The newly constructed multi-million Euro facility will initially focus on hot-melt adhesives for the bio based packaging market.

Eric Coveney, Head of Marketing at Beardow Adams said that the idea for the new facility in Frankfurt was to create extra capacity for their fast growing business and due to the announcement on Brexit.
