H.B. FULLER + HAR
A Partnership That Began in the Spring of 2000.
HAR's relationship with H.B. Fuller began in the spring of 2000 and has grown into one of our most important strategic partnerships.
Today, HAR is one of H.B. Fuller's longest-tenured, largest, and most experienced distributors.
Eight-Time H.B. Fuller Distributor of the Year
HAR has been recognized as an H.B. Fuller Distributor of the Year eight times, most recently in 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2024.
We're proud of that recognition.
But the real measure of the relationship isn't the awards.
It's what decades of working together allow us to do for our customers.

More Than an H.B. Fuller Distributor
HAR's role extends beyond selling H.B. Fuller adhesive.
We maintain inventory, provide technical and application support, help customers evaluate and qualify products, serve as a sub-distributor to smaller resellers, and stock selected lower-volume products to help support the broader distribution network.
That responsibility reflects the depth of the relationship—and the trust built since the spring of 2000.
