Collano, nolax and Emerell combined to create artimelt

By housing the companies' various competencies under one roof, artimelt has created larger, more powerful research, development, application engineering and customer support teams. This, the company explained, benefits customers by providing access to a deeper pool of adhesives expertise and decades of experience. Markets served by artimelt include those for medical, label, tape, packaging, security applications and building.

artimelt has been operational since April 1, and is headquartered at the production site in Sursee, Switzerland, where hot melt adhesives have been manufactured for decades. Artimelt is now running a Nordson high-tech coater to support coating and application testing for customers’ specific needs. It can produce high quality, practical samples, while small batches can be manufactured quickly and flexibly – whether to ease pressure in production or to simulate production on a real line.
