This issue of Adhesives & Sealants Industry magazine brings the ASI Top 25, our exclusive ranking of the top 25 manufacturers of adhesives and sealants. ASI combined reader survey information with details from company websites, annual reports and press releases to compile the rankings (sources beyond the survey results are included with each listing). Included with each company’s listing are contact information, estimated 2012 adhesives and sealants sales figures (if publishable), and a company profile.
Revenue figures were provided by company representatives and verified whenever possible (some privately held companies’ revenue figures were unavailable or not released for publication). While our staff made every effort to seek out the top companies in the industry, some companies may have been inadvertently omitted. We will work throughout the year to provide any changes or updates for our online version of the ASI Top 25 and in next year’s ASI Top 25 issue. To include your company in our listing, please contact managing editor Teresa McPherson at mcphersont@bnpmedia.com.
