An Italian Company beyond Borders

Since 1931, Leuenberger+C, a 100% Italian family company, has developed and manufactured industrial adhesives for a range of different industries.

Our company has, since its foundation, pursued a policy based on selection of raw materials and a culture and procedures of the highest level of quality, supplying our customers with top-of-the-range products that are stable over time.

Today, Leuenberger+C exports around 65% of its production value to over 80 countries, with two branch offices in France and Spain and a distribution network with which a long-standing trust-based relationship is in place.
