Securing the Future for the Adhesives and Sealants Industry
The adhesive and sealant industry is silently powering the future — enabling lighter vehicles, smarter manufacturing, safer consumer products, and more sustainable solutions worldwide. The Adhesive and Sealant Council is where the leaders of this industry come together to shape what comes next.
In the following pages, we are introducing ASC’s new three-year strategic plan — a forward-looking commitment to amplify our industry’s impact, strengthen the competitive position of our member companies, and ensure ASC remains the united voice and driving force for adhesives and sealants in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
Beginning in 2026, the plan delivers a new level of value for ASC members: greater advocacy influence, stronger market insight, deeper collaboration across the value chain, and a more powerful platform for innovation and leadership. It reflects a core belief — together, our industry can achieve more than any one company can alone.
Our strategy centers on three priorities:
• Championing member interests and leading with advocacy excellence.
• Accelerating industry growth, innovation, and opportunity.
• Strengthening ASC’s long-term vitality, relevance, and leadership.
Through this plan, we will amplify our collective voice in policy and regulation, provide sharper intelligence to guide strategic decisions, and build stronger partnerships that elevate the value and visibility of adhesives and sealants across the world.
ASC’s strength is its community of leaders. For our members, this is a call to lean in with renewed purpose. For industry peers not yet part of ASC, it is an invitation to join the organization shaping the future of our industry.
Together, we will build a stronger industry, a stronger voice, and a stronger future for adhesives and sealants.
