Adhesive Services Company

What Adhesive Services Company does

Adhesive Services Company is a privately held Houston, Texas-based industrial services contractor founded in 1975 that specializes in the repair, grouting, and regrouting of foundations for heavy machinery in industrial facilities. The company serves refineries, chemical plants, gas transmission facilities, paper mills, cement mills, and docks both domestically and abroad, providing on-site contracting and consulting services for foundation cracks, equipment settling, faulty grouting installations, anchor bolt failure, and structural concrete deterioration.

The company's core technical capabilities center on cementitious and epoxy grout formulations customized for each installation, air-powered mechanical tools (including diamond coring rigs for anchor bolt replacement), and large-pour grouting for compressors and other dynamically-loaded equipment. Adhesive Services Company positions itself as an independent contractor—deliberately not affiliated with any product manufacturer—which allows it to select best-fit materials per project rather than be tied to specific brands. Safety is a stated differentiator through exclusive use of air-powered (non-electric) tools, eliminating ignition sources in environments where water is used during coring.

Commercially, the company operates as a pure-play professional services provider with project-based (quote-based) pricing, multi-year contracting relationships, and direct field sales to enterprise industrial buyers. There are no disclosed intermediaries, resellers, or channel partners. Marketing is concentrated in industry trade shows (POWERGEN International, GMRC Gas Machinery Conference, AFPM Summit, Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia, Permian Basin International Oil Show), LinkedIn, and the publication of technical papers in "The Foundation Report" series. The business model is operationally lean with a headcount in the 11–50 range and no disclosed external investors, parent company, or acquisition history.
