H.B. Fuller launches Gorilla Professional Grade™ line, also known as GorillaPro™, a professional grade maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) industrial adhesives and sealants. The Gorilla Professional Grade™ portfolio consists of 19 products, including threadlockers, epoxies, metal pipe-fitting assembly sealants, retaining compounds, anti-seize, gasketing and instant adhesives. The chemical tools have a user-friendly, color-coded, application identification system and easy-to-use, innovative packaging.
Developing Adhesives for MRO Professionals
This is the first product launch since The Gorilla Glue Company LLC granted H.B. Fuller an exclusive, trademark license agreement, effective March 1, 2020. Teams from each company have worked closely together to create a professional grade of MRO Industrial chemical tools.
“
Our two teams have done an outstanding job in just seven months, closely collaborating to launch a range of new and exciting premium products, developed with enthusiasm for the MRO Industrial professional and combining H.B. Fullers’ technologies and packaging know-how with Gorilla Glue®’s well-known and highly respected brand,” said Scott Pergande, global director of product management and marketing for H.B. Fuller’s Engineering Adhesives business unit.
“
With this partnership, H.B. Fuller now has the optimal product portfolio to fulfill many of the MRO Industrial market’s unmet needs. Our unique professional chemical tools for repair, installation and maintenance enable reliable and efficient operation of manufacturing equipment and other heavy machinery,” added Pergande.
