Why does a company choose one adhesive supplier over another? Many would say cost. Some may say availability. As a technical sales representative, I try to look at every situation or scenario for customers to ensure HAR is not only a worthwhile value but a valued service. I was recently posed the question by a potential customer, why HAR? What immediately came to mind are the things that truly sets us apart from other suppliers out there; the things that our current customers really care about…
We are local. This means we have quick response time, lower freight costs and quicker deliveries.
We provide one stop shopping. We manufacture or supply nearly every adhesive technology available from specialized adhesives to adhesive application equipment.
We are competitive. Not only do we supply most any kind of adhesive and adhesive equipment needed, our prices are comparable or better than other suppliers.
We solve problems with adhesive. We look at the whole production process, test or custom develop formulations, do glue audits, and more.
We are easy to do business with. We can ship just one pail or a whole tanker truck. And we are always easy to reach by phone or email.
We provide options. When prices are on the rise, many times we have lower cost options available due to our relationships with multiple sources.
Most importantly, I believe there are always opportunities that lead to better production and lower long term costs. From wanting a better quality adhesive without increased cost to an automated production line that reduces downtime, it’s really all about partnering with suppliers that care about your business to make those opportunities a success. And that’s why we are here. Scott Lepard, Technical Sales Manager scott.lepard@haradhesive.com 440-220-0115
