Propelling Growth And Diversification Through M&A

Royal Adhesives and Sealants, a member of the American Securities portfolio of companies, today ranks among the world’s top ten adhesive companies. Its remarkable growth was achieved by navigating successfully the challenges of conducting 18 acquisitions since 2003 while the company ownership itself changed hands three times to fit its key stages of expansion. It has established an industry hallmark for dynamic integration into a single global management system designed to benefit customers through global scale, diversified technologies, application service expertise and supply chain efficiencies.

The global market for adhesives & sealants, valued at $42 billion with a CAGR of 3.2%, is highly fragmented with the top ten players representing 45% of the market and 55% of the market represented by a few players with sales between $100 to $350 Million and numerous players between $5 to $100M in sales driven by vehicle light-weighting, energy efficiency and the replacement of mechanical fasteners which has created a vibrant environment of exciting opportunities. After 13 years of executing a strategy of organic growth and M&A, Royal Adhesives is well poised to continue to capitalize on these changes.
