Mark Singer The Pioneering Visionary Behind The Gorilla Glue Company

1. Mark Singer: The Pioneering Visionary Behind The Gorilla Glue Company Glues, Adhesives, and Sealants are substances used to hold and attach surfaces. They can be used for Craft, DIY, Repairs, Construction, and other industrial purposes and needs. Whatever you need to fix, build, stick, create, bond, and seal - these sticky glues, adhesives, and sealants are the solution. These gummy and goey stuff are made of Silicones, Silane- Modified Polymers, Polyurethanes, Methacrylates, Cyanoacrylates, Epoxies, Butyl Rubber, or Elastomers. Incredibly stronger glues, adhesives, and sealants are used mostly in the manufacturing innovation and industrial sectors as they can be very harmful during simple craft and repair work. Having the substance of higher strength fall on any bare bodily part can prove to be detrimental and needs to be addressed immediately. The versatility of these tacky and viscous substances is more sustainable in the amount of materials used to just get the job done. Different types and kinds of materials can be bonded and sealed by glues, adhesives, and sealants without the use of extra materials for additional support. Many companies, brands labels, and organizations make their patented sticky composite and market them, which would rake in huge profits if their quality is good and gets the job done as advertised. Therefore in this article, we will be talking about one such company founded by Mark Singer in the manufacturing industry. An American woodworker found a type of glue that was Danish manufactured, being used in Indonesia. After asking the manufacturer for the glue to modify its composition a little, Mark bought and acquired the Northern American rights for the same. He went back to his country and built The Gorilla Glue Company in 1994, whose mission is - “to make products that deliver impressive results”. About Mark Singer - Founder of The Gorilla Glue Company: The pioneering and trailblazing visionary who founded The Gorilla Glue Company is Mark Singer. A woodworker who has been working with wood and its related tools and types of equipment is all too familiar with how the adhesive technology of glues, adhesives, and sealants work. Woodworking, designing, and making furniture was a tedious activity for Mark. He says - “Practice, patience, proper tools, good lighting, reading glasses, and technique are all really helpful.” Between the late 1989s and early 1990s, Mark Singer traveled from America to Bandung, Indonesia to visit a furniture factory there. He found that the workers used a type of glue unknown to Mark, on Teak furniture. The glue was made in Germany, specifically Danish manufactured. Seeing how the market was rising and how in-demand the glue was with customers, Mark went back to his country with sample bottles of the same.

He found that this glue worked on not only Teak wood but also on metals, ceramics, plastics, stones, and much more. He immediately envisioned a product that is of high quality and a brand that people would love and find to be incredibly helpful. Therefore, he approached the Danish manufacturer of the glue and asked to modify its composition a little.

Here, Mark started his brand building and chose the brand logo, name, and products in 1994 and launched the business that same year.
