Our History

SCIGRIP was established in 2011 as a dedicated brand built around one core specialisation — high-performance methacrylate structural adhesives. Since then, SCIGRIP has grown into a globally recognised name, trusted by manufacturers and engineers across the marine, transportation, construction, and composites industries.

From its roots as a focused adhesive brand, SCIGRIP has continuously evolved its product range to meet the demands of modern manufacturing — expanding working times, developing primerless bonding solutions, and broadening substrate compatibility to serve an ever-wider range of structural applications. This commitment to innovation has positioned SCIGRIP as the industry favourite for bonding advanced composites with little or no surface preparation.

Today, SCIGRIP operates across North America, UK and Europe, supporting customers worldwide with both a proven product range and a team of dedicated technical specialists. With growing demand for sustainable solutions, SCIGRIP continues to invest in Low VOC and environmentally responsible formulations — building on a foundation of performance without compromising on our commitment to a cleaner future.
