About Us

A leader in industrial adhesive distribution & manufacturing

BC Adhesives was founded in 2004 by Ed Brozynski and Terry Cassidy, each bringing over 15 years of experience in industrial adhesives distribution. In 2006, they were joined by John Mahoney, a seasoned industry expert with over 20 years of experience. Together, they built BC Adhesives into a leading distributor in the adhesives industry.

The progress and growth over the years has been more than steady, but 2010 was an especially strong year:

  • Won the H.B. Fuller “Diamond Award” as the 2010 Distributor of the Year for Outstanding Growth
  • Year-end revenues reached an all-time high, more than doubling from 2008 to 2010
  • In January 2010 BC Adhesives moved into its new, custom designed building in Franklin, just south of Milwaukee, creating 10,000 square feet of warehouse space
  • Based on steady growth, the team expanded their territory to California and the Southwest
  • By 2018, the company had already outgrown the current facility and added a new addition of 13,000 square feet to the warehouse, doubling its capacity. The building is on a lot that will allow for a third expansion, when needed
  • Based on strong growth in current packaging and graphic arts markets, BC Adhesives added a Business Unit Manager to handle their future growth in Product Assembly
  • Since 2010, the team has experienced double digit sales growth on a year over year basis

The success of the Brozynski, Cassidy, and Mahoney team lies in building consultative, hands-on customer relationships. BC Adhesives stands out with superior technical expertise, a strong portfolio of leading adhesive brands, and deep knowledge of customer production equipment and substrates. This allows BC Adhesives to research, specify and provide the best possible adhesive for a particular application.

What our customers say

BC Adhesives primary markets

Technical expertise & service

With rising adhesive costs and increasing product allocations, maximizing application efficiency is more critical than ever. This begins with selecting the best technology from top manufacturers who consistently invest in R&D, even in mature markets like packaging and graphic arts.

But the real cost of adhesives is the consumption, not the cost per pound. The BC Adhesives team pairs technical expertise with proactive support to help customers optimize consumption practices, such as switching from dual tips to a single orifice, using optimal stitch patterns, or disassembling and reassembling units.

Simply put, BC Adhesives is able to precisely specify and supply customers with the newest generation technology from the top manufacturers in the industry. All with the shortest possible lead times. And, with a corporate mission to optimize the efficient use of each application, we keep a keen eye on sustainability!
