The loudspeaker market is booming. In addition to designing to an outstanding product, efficient production is crucial for a speaker manufacturer to stay ahead of its competitors. Adhesives play an important role in this, but the potential they offer for increasing productivity has yet to be fully realized.

The ASSEMBLY Show features not only the machinery needed to assemble parts, but also the supplies, such as adhesives.

SANFORD, FL—Hernon Manufacturing Inc., a producer of adhesive and dispensing technologies, will more than double the size of its manufacturing facility here through a $2.5 million investment projected to add 20 jobs.

SANFORD, FL—Hernon Manufacturing, a supplier of adhesives, sealants and dispensing equipment, will begin construction next month on a new building expansion. When complete, the new building will be 160 percent of the size of the current facility.

It may not be as “sexy” as a robot or a high-speed automated assembly system, but one of the most interesting new products introduced at the show last fall was actually an adhesive.

Where and how a product is used can change significantly over time. Cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesives are a great example.
