Vigorous growth has enabled Panacol-Elosol GmbH, manufacturer of industrial and specialty adhesives, to build a larger facility for its corporate headquarters. With double the space for offices, laboratories, and production, up to 100 employees can now work at the new site. It is located in Steinbach near Frankfurt/Main Germany, within the new Steinbach industrial estate Im Gründchen,” close to the company’s former location.

The new building offers Panacol employees a contemporary work environment with more than 6,000 m2 space. The laboratories for research and development, application engineering, and quality management are equipped with state-of-the-art technology that increases in-house analytical and testing capabilities. A larger production area with additional new equipment has increased manufacturing capacity and efficiency. The new facilities can be expanded to support further growth in the coming years.

This includes products for structural bonding, protective coating and encapsulation, electrical and thermal conduction, gasketing, and temporary masking.
