Who is ASC?
Since 1958, the Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC), a national nonprofit trade association, serves as the voice of the North American adhesive and sealant value chain. The Council is comprised of 125 adhesive and sealant manufacturers, raw material and equipment suppliers, distributors and industry consultants, representing more than 75% of the U.S. industry. We are the indispensable partner for the industry, widely recognized as the trusted, go-to source of information, the unifying voice for the industry, and the dynamic community of choice, driving the global advancement and sustainable future of member businesses.
MISSION | What We Do
To be the champion for the adhesive and sealant industry, driving sustainable growth for our member businesses through technical expertise, networking, and industry leadership.
VISION | Our Impact
A thriving, global member community, leading innovation through high-performance adhesives and sealants.
OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
ASC supports its Mission and achieves its Vision through three strategic priorities summarized in the Long Range Plan 2030 document shown below.
ASC LONG RANGE PLAN 2030
ASC’s long range strategic plan is 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.
ANTITRUST COMPLIANCE
It is the policy of the Council to comply strictly with the letter and spirit of all applicable trade regulations and antitrust laws. Any activities of the Council or Council-related actions of its officers, directors, members, member representatives or staff which violate these regulations and laws are contrary to Council policy.
All Council activities or discussions are avoided which might be construed as tending to: (1) raise, lower or stabilize prices; (2) regulate production; (3) allocate markets; (4) encourage boycotts; (5) foster unfair trade practices; (6) assist in monopolization; or in any way violate applicable trade regulations and antitrust laws.
