Technology, innovation and experience are the values of ICAT, which has been devoted to the development of gluing solutions for more than 30 years. ICAT is nowadays one of the main European firms producing adhesives for industrial use and its network of agents/distributors is wide spread all over the world. ICAT has inherited the huge experience of the Italian fine chemical industry, from which the firm derives an added value from a technological viewpoint. The plants and the technological means of the firm are able to offer innovative products and meet all the needs of the market. Apart from the continuous improvement if its quality standards and services to the customers, the achievements of ICAT are essentially based on the continuous updating of the characteristics of its adhesives, which are designed to meet the technological development of the supports that are to be glued, as well as the development of the equipment used in various industrial applications.
