Coronavirus Covid-19 Statement

Dear Valued Customer,

Adhesive Dispensing Limited is monitoring the development and status of the Coronavirus situation and will be following the guidance of both the UK Government and the World Health Organisation to minimise the risks to our employees and to provide a safe and healthy working environment for all staff.

As you are aware, the entire global supply chain has already been impacted due to the coronavirus outbreak, which has led to large-scale disturbances in shipping services, border closures and airline disruptions.

Adhesive Dispensing Limited always maintains a close working relationship with all of our key suppliers and we are working with these suppliers to constantly evaluate the risks any disruptions pose to supply chain consistency. Should the availability of any products be affected or potentially be at risk of being affected by the Coronavirus outbreak, this will be communicated directly to the relevant customers as soon as it becomes apparent.

As a leading stockist / distributor, Adhesive Dispensing Limited is always assessing market demands and stocking policies to ensure we have sufficient products available to meet our customers needs. Customers should advise us of any products that they feel are business critical and make a decision on what, if any, stock is required or reserved to reduce risk of short supply.

As always, Adhesive Dispensing Limited constantly strives to provide the highest possible service levels for its customers, and will continue to provide this throughout these difficult times.
