The Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC) has officially opened its call for entries and has posted the nominations package for the 2025 Adhesive & Sealant Innovation Awards, now in its 9th year. The awards recognize the top three cutting edge innovations from the adhesive and sealant industry. Independent judges review the following categories as part of the scoring process:

• Science and innovation
• Applicability and impact
• Impact of the technology relative to the state of the art
• Qualifications, experience and capabilities
• Significant milestone

Each year participants are strongly encouraged to submit the latest product development, new product launches and innovations for consideration to recognize their teams’ accomplishments. Last year, H.B. Fuller was the winner of the top award; Bostik and Geisys were recognized as runners up. View the 2024 winners, technologies and photos from the awards ceremony.

"It’s not only incredibly rewarding to notify the finalists from these top companies each year, but extremely gratifying to witness their team receive recognition at the ASC Annual Convention and accept this prestigious industry award on stage. We have to remember that from product conception, testing, trials, to actual launch can be years in the making and this award showcases that hard work and innovative thinking. These commercial products are critically important to end users and manufacturers in the building and construction, electric vehicle, battery, charging stations, aerospace, semiconductors, solar/clean energy products, sustainable packaging industries, and many more,” indicated Brian Peters, director of membership and industry programs.

Adhesive and sealant companies, as well as academia, are advised complete submissions by January 31, 2025, for the 2025 Innovation Awards. Visit the official awards program page.
