Every manufacturing engineer knows the frustration: Bill of Materials (BOMs) that seem to grow longer with each design iteration, inventory systems bursting with fastener variations, and purchasing departments juggling hundreds of small-value SKUs. MMA Adhesives offer an elegant solution-dramatically simplifying your BOMs while improving assembly performance.

In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, every cost reduction matters-and the biggest savings often come from eliminating entire process steps rather than just optimizing existing ones. MMA adhesives can dramatically lower your fabrication costs by replacing traditional fasteners and welding with a simpler, more efficient bonding solution.

Stronger structures. Tougher bonds. Built for the toughest environments.

When it comes to buses, trucks, trains, construction equipment, and other heavy-duty applications, strength isn’t just important-it’s critical. These assemblies must withstand punishing conditions: extreme temperatures, constant vibration, heavy loads, chemical exposure, and impact forces that would destroy weaker bonds.

When manufacturers look to speed up assembly processes, the first instinct is often to optimize existing methods-running impact drivers faster, shortening weld times, or reducing fastener counts. While these incremental improvements help, the most significant gains come from rethinking your joining method entirely and switching to adhesives.

Many times, the component joining method is one of the last things engineers and designers think about when designing a structure or a product and might receive less attention than core materials selection or component design. However, taking the time to consider how to join parts and considering where to choose methyl methacrylate adhesive (MMA) technology can take designs to the next level in many ways

Every manufacturer producing assemblies is in a never-ending search for efficiency and continuous improvement. There are many paths to defining and achieving efficiency, among them:

Speed – reducing the time it takes to put an assembly together

Materials reduction – using lighter weight materials for easier handling

Reducing process variation- including elimination of tools and process steps

Increasing flexibility – expanding “production ready” places and times

However, most manufacturers don’t know how methyl methacrylate adhesives (MMAs) can contribute to improvements in each of these areas.
