With the acquisition of Arc Building Products, Bostik will strengthen its position in Ireland’s growing construction adhesives market with a broader range of solutions and a local manufacturing footprint.

Arc Building Products specialising in tile adhesives, floor preparation systems, building chemicals and sealing and bonding solutions, has built a solid position in the Irish market, delivering first class system solutions with a strong emphasis on customer service.

Building on its strong position in Ireland for over 60 years, Bostik is poised to leverage significant industrial and commercial synergies through this acquisition. By integrating Arc’s product range, Bostik will expand its portfolio of high value-added solutions for the growing Irish construction market, driven by increasing needs for sustainable housing and renovation.

Bostik will also invest significantly in the Arklow site to increase the local production of its solutions.

Robert Massey, Managing Director of Bostik UK & Ireland says, “This acquisition underscores Bostik’s dedication to offering premium, sustainable solutions. We warmly welcome Arc’s skilled team and anticipate unlocking growth opportunities for both companies and our valued customer base.”

Peter Morrissey, Commercial Director at Bostik Ireland, adds, “We’re enthusiastic about the prospects this merger offers our customers. Together, Bostik and ARC are primed to provide the market with an expansive product range, manufactured in Ireland, enhancing and enriching our commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability.”
