Loctite Corporation began in a Hartford basement in 1953 as the entrepreneurial endeavour of a Trinity College chemistry professor and his son. Back then, the fledgling adhesives firm was called The American Sealants Company. Its founders had only one product – a unique liquid bonding resin that hardened in the absence of air.
Today, with 5000 employees worldwide and operations in more than 80 countries, Henkel Loctite Corporation manufactures and markets a broad range of high-performance adhesives, sealants and coatings. Computers, automobiles, airplanes, vacuum cleaners, mobile phones, and medical devices are just some of the many items that are made with Loctite® products. As part of its philosophy of providing a complete solution to its customers, Henkel Loctite also offers standard and custom-built dispensing and application equipment.
