Bond It begins exclusive UK production of world leading levelling compounds

Manufacturer of sealants, adhesives, grouts, polyurethanes, waterproofing compounds and other building chemicals, Bond It has extended its production capabilities. Following a £1/4M investment into a new powder plant at its West Yorkshire factory last year, the business has now begun the exclusive UK manufacturing of Schönox floor levelling compounds.

Previously distributed by Bond It but manufactured in Germany, Schönox’s floor levelling compounds are widely recognised, especially in the flooring industry, as being world leading. They are the preferred choice for professional flooring contractors and a growing number of other tradesmen thanks to their impressive versatility, ease of application, reliability and performance.

Four Schönox compounds continue to be available from Bond It – Schönox AP (a synthetic, gypsum, interior self-levelling compound), Schönox APF (a synthetic, gypsum, fibre-reinforced, interior self-levelling compound), LC Latex self-levelling compound and FPL Plus cement-based self-levelling compound. It is these latter two products – LC Latex and FPL Plus – that the company is now manufacturing in the UK under licence.

Bond It’s ability to produce these products itself rather than importing them will offer significant benefits both to stockists and end-users. Not only will it increase product availability and reduce order lead times, but it will also shorten supply chains and cut transportation costs. Bond It plans to pass on these savings to its customers.

Commenting, David Moore, managing director at Bond It, said: “The last twelve months have been fairly momentous for Bond It with a number of major milestones and developments.

“Over the last year we have opened a new £1M warehouse, invested £1/4M into a new powder plant, become the main sponsor of the Huddersfield Giants in order to boost awareness of our brand and posted our best ever year-end financial results.

“Being awarded the licence to manufacture the Schönox levelling compounds in the UK has really helped to cap off those achievements and especially given Schönox is part of AkzoNobel - one of the world's leading producers of speciality chemicals and a business that insists on excellence.

“In order to secure the licence we had to demonstrate nothing short of a commitment to the highest standards in a wide range of areas. Ultimately, it’s indicative of the levels of quality control and advanced production technology in operation across our entire range.”
