The adhesives industry is an ever growing one, playing a pivotal role in the assembly of a variety of products, becoming an essential element in a diverse range of industries. Consequently, the sector has stayed at a consistent upward trajectory, with demand for high quality adhesives always on the rise. Moreover, with the promotion of the Make In India initiative, the growth of the industry has exponentially risen in recent years. As construction, furnishings, woodworking and other sectors advance, the synthetic adhesives sector is anticipated to continue rising.
However, in this flourishing industry, with numerous players, customers continue facing issues with the quality and consistency of products as well as the lead time for product delivery. Moreover, customers are often stuck with generalized products which do not always fulfill their purpose. With an experience of over four decades in the industry, Speb Adhesives, a Navi Mumbai based adhesives manufacturing company, expertly resolves these issues. With a comprehensive portfolio of products, a vast network of distributors, and expansive inventory, the company stands out as a reliable partner.
Customer-Centric Solutions
Founded in 1979, Speb is a family-owned SME operation, dedicated to deliver tailored products which are manufactured to suit the exact requirements of the customers. These technically manufactured products are curated after extensive analysis of the particular needs of the customers, taking into consideration how much open time needs to be provided for the particular adhesive, what bonds are required for optimal functioning, and the process of application. The team at Speb also considers whether the client uses manual machines or automatic ones in order to successfully develop products that fulfill the demands of the clients.

With in-house technical teams, these processes are simplified and the company is able to guarantee the quality of its solutions without any bars.

“If you manufacture what your client needs, you cover about 50%-60% of the journey to success. If you are manufacturing something that the customer wants, you are solving a problem. This is where half the battle is won. Although price plays a critical role, if your solution is more capable of solving their issues than generalized solutions, then the client will always choose you even if your prices are a little higher than some competitors. This approach has allowed us to build a loyal client base, and achieve near 0% rejection rate”, further adds Gaurav.
Forging long-term relationships with clients, the company ensures that its solutions evolve with the transforming needs of the clients. As businesses grow, their processes can change, they can go from manual production to automatic.
