DELO Industrial Adhesives

Who we are

DELO is a leading global manufacturer of high-tech adhesives and other multifunctional polymers. The company's products are used primarily in automotive, consumer, and industrial electronics. They can be found in almost every mobile phone and every second car worldwide, for example in cameras, speakers, electric motors, or sensors.

In addition to structural and high-precision bonding, the products are also used for encapsulating and sealing components, as an optical material, or for creating delicate structures. In addition, they can be thermally or electrically conductive, provide flame protection, equalize tensions between components, or transmit acoustic and ultrasonic waves. Most of the products are UV-curing or dual-curing, thus ensuring extremely fast production processes.

In order to be well prepared for any customer needs in terms of materials, production, and applications, the portfolio consists of around 400 standard adhesives and polymers based on twelve different chemistries as well as many customer-specific developments. The product range is rounded off with microdispensing valves and high-intensity UV LED curing lamps, giving customers access to a turnkey solution.

The company, which has been family-run since 1961 and has a total of 800 employees, is headquartered in Windach near Munich in Germany and has subsidiaries in the USA, China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia as well as employees and partners in many other countries. Its customers include Bosch, Daimler, Huawei, Osram, Siemens, and Sony.

Please note: We supply high-tech adhesives exclusively to manufacturing trades and industries. There is no direct sales to private customers as well as small and medium-sized enterprise (SME).
