South Bend, IN - Royal Adhesives & Sealants will acquire substantially all of the assets of Clifton Adhesives. Clifton Adhesives is a major supplier to the aerospace, military, recreational and commercial marine market of thermoplastic (polyurethane) and elastomeric (polychloroprene) adhesives and coatings, which are used in the fabrication of inflatable structures. The acquisition builds on Royal’s strong platform of leading adhesives, sealants and coatings solutions. “We continue to identify leading niche companies that will enhance our product offerings to the markets in which we have chosen to compete. The addition of Clifton will broaden our customer base in the aircraft and marine markets” said Ted Clark, chief executive officer of Royal. “Clifton’s elastomeric adhesives will add to our growing portfolio of leading adhesives and sealants technologies and we look forward to working with the Clifton team to successfully integrate the Clifton business into Royal. Last month Royal Adhesives acquired Extreme Adhesives, Raymond, NH, a premier supplier of methyl methacrylate, anaerobic and cyanoacrylate adhesives to the assembly, maintenance and repair, and architectural and building markets. The acquisition builds on Royal’s strong platform of leading adhesives, sealants and coatings and allows clients of both companies to benefit from an expanded range of customized and proprietary solutions
