HB Fuller breaks ground in Indonesia

HB Fuller Company broke ground on its manufacturing facility in Surabaya, Indonesia. This facility will strengthen the company’s network in the Asia Pacific region and will complement the products and technical service offered today by the company’s manufacturing facilities in China, the Philippines, Malaysia and Australia.
"This future manufacturing facility is an excellent example of how we will leverage our global reach and technical knowledge to empower local experts,” said Jim Owens, HB Fuller President and Chief Executive Officer. "Today, we mark an important milestone in our commitment to deliver value to our customers in Asia, enhance our competitive position and continue making investments in the capabilities necessary to support our long-term growth strategy.”
Production of hot melt and water-based adhesives products is set to begin in Q2 of 2016. This increased capacity will enable the company to consistently meet local customers’ requirements and grow significantly in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia.
