History of DELO

Innovation is as much a part of us as our homegrown roots. Founded in Bavaria in 1961, we have grown into one of the largest global manufacturers of high-tech adhesives. As a family-owned business, we develop advanced bonding materials as well as adhesive dispensing and curing technology. Our products are mainly used in the semiconductor, automotive, and consumer electronics industries.
