What Durante Adesivi does

Durante Adesivi S.p.A. is an Italian specialty industrial adhesives manufacturer founded in 1962 by Tarcisio Durante in Prata di Pordenone, Friuli Venezia Giulia. The company produces hot melt adhesives based on EVA, polyolefin (PO), and polyurethane reactive (PUR) chemistries, together with PVAc dispersions, polyurethane dispersions (PUD), primers, and equipment cleaners, serving four primary verticals: woodworking and furniture manufacturing (edge banding, profile wrapping, panel lamination), textile lamination and mattress production, paper converting and bookbinding, and PVC profile wrapping for windows, doors, and facades. Its product portfolio is anchored by the NATURA sub-brand of bio-based hot melts certified under ISCC PLUS, the DUDITERM PU LM Low Monomer range exempt from REACH di-isocyanate training requirements, and RAL-GZ 716 certified PVC-profile adhesives and primers.

The business operates as a B2B specialty chemicals manufacturer selling direct to industrial customers in Italy, the UK, Germany, Spain, and other European markets, with distribution reach extended through its parent company Soudal (Belgian group, majority owner since 2026). Go-to-market is anchored on participation in major industry trade fairs (SICAM, LIGNA, Fimma+Maderalia, Fensterbau Frontale, NAFCD/NBMDA), direct technical consultation through an in-house application testing center, and publication of technical manuals in collaboration with AVISA-Federchimica and CATAS. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company maintains multiple certifications (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISCC PLUS, OEKO TEX, RAL-GZ 716, EN 16516 compliance) and operates manufacturing facilities in Prata di Pordenone, Ghirano (Italy), and Nottinghamshire (UK, via Advatac Ltd, acquired February 2026). Share capital stands at €10M and headcount is reported in the 101-250 range. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
