In 1961 Adhesives Research, Inc., was founded to supply specialty adhesive-coated materials not found anywhere else. Early projects concentrated in the graphic arts field, and also included designing and building adhesive coating equipment. From its humble beginnings in a converted garage, Adhesives Research (AR) grew steadily and pioneered work in high-performance, pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes. The company changed locations twice to accommodate its growing business – first in 1965, and then in 1974, when it moved to its present location Glen Rock, PA. The company’s corporate campus spans over 100 acres, and after numerous expansions, houses almost 220,000 square feet of space where 400 associates are employed
