Stauf USA LLC (Arlington, Tenn.) acquired Dalton, Ga.-based Advanced Adhesive Technologies Inc..
The acquisition will strengthen both companies by combining technologies and product offerings in the adhesive marketplace, a statement from Stauf said.
The two companies will operate as separate entities, and no changes will be made to current distribution, employees or management.
“Our world is constantly changing; if you are standing still, you are actually going backwards. You need the vision and willingness to take risks to reach your goals and fulfill your dreams,” according to a statement attributed to owners Wolfgang and Sarah Stauf. “Today we have taken the first step into a new chapter of our business by acquiring AAT, a family owned-and-operated business with values and visions similar to our own. We are excited about growing both companies, and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead.”
