Our History
Creating Bonds Since 2002
Tim Lucas the founder of Cyanotec Ltd, began his career at one of the world’s leading adhesive brands.
A strong focus on creating bonds led to his position at TLIP Adhesives as UK Sales Director. They were acquired by a global adhesives company. After supplying adhesives in larger palletised quantities, this company found out they could not maintain the “little and often” pace that TLIP customers were used to. It was Tim’s task to locate a distributor to take on these accounts.
There was a gap in the adhesive market that Tim recognized, that would enable him to keep supplying his loyal customers in smaller quantities and in a variety of grades at a reasonable price.
It was the global adhesive company that supported Tim’s transition from his role within their business to starting a new business to serve these customers. In subsequent years this relationship led Cyanotec to become the UK distributor for Mitre Mate Classic and Bison Adhesives.
With a 950 square foot unit in Willenhall, West Midlands, Cyanotec was founded in 2002 with a mission to serve both large and small businesses with quality, flexibility, and reliability.
During 2004, an opportunity was identified in the adhesive market, and the company decided to offer customers a private labelling service. Now, thanks to on site decanting and digital printing facilities, over 95% of products can be own-branded to incorporate customers’ company branding and information in a variety of packaging options.
Twenty years on, because of continued year on year growth, Cyanotec now operate from an impressive 7,000 square foot facility in Kingswinford, West Midlands, and has established itself as a dependable name in the adhesives market.
