Every year, ASI researches the leading worldwide manufacturers of adhesives and sealants to compile the ASI Top 20. In considering the rankings, we focus on sales figures and other details for finished adhesives and sealants, as well as related products such as tapes and labels. 

We would like to thank the companies that responded to our requests and provided specific details regarding their adhesives and sealants operations and financial results. We understand that it takes time and effort to compile this information. Please know that your input significantly improves the quality of the list and helps ensure that it continues to be seen and used as a global industry resource. 

In addition to information supplied by company contacts, we gathered details from annual reports, company websites, press releases, and other sources. In cases where organizations did not respond to our requests or declined to provide adhesives/sealants-focused information, and reasonable estimates could not be made based on publicly available information, some companies did unfortunately have to be left out. 

If you would like your company to be considered for the 2024 ASI Top 20, or if you have any questions or suggestions for future rankings, please contact Karen Parker, editor-in-chief, at (248) 833-7364 or parkerk@bnpmedia.com

Editor’s note: The ASI Top 20 is based, in part, on publicly available financial information, including annual sales/revenue, along with details supplied by company contacts and other sources. Information was verified whenever possible, but adhesives/sealants-related details have been estimated in some cases. In other cases, details for privately held companies have been withheld on request. Financial figures are generally rounded, and the timing of currency conversions may impact specific figures/results.
