What Inseto (UK) Limited does

Inseto (UK) Limited is a private industrial distributor headquartered in Andover, United Kingdom, operating as the exclusive UK and Ireland franchise holder for DELO Industrial Adhesives. Founded in 1987 (with company history referencing over 30 years of operation), the company supplies a comprehensive portfolio of bonding, sealing, and encapsulation chemistries, including UV-curing epoxies (DELO KATIOBOND), UV-curing acrylates (DELO PHOTOBOND), dual-curing systems (DELO DUALBOND), one-part heat-cured epoxies (DELO MONOPOX), two-part epoxies (DELO-DUOPOX), polyurethanes (DELO-PUR), anaerobic adhesives (DELO-ML), and moisture-curing silicones (DELO-GUM), to manufacturers in automotive electronics, semiconductor and microelectronic, medical device, aerospace, opto-electronics, and industrial segments.

The company's underlying offering combines DELO adhesive chemistries with a complementary equipment portfolio, including DELOLUX LED curing lamps, DELO-DOT pneumatic jet valves, DELO-DIV volumetric dispensers, and DELOMAT time-pressure systems, plus third-party capital equipment from Kulicke & Soffa, SUSS MicroTec, ATV Technologie, Plasma Etch, ADT, Tresky, Amadyne, Nikon Metrology, Nordson DAGE, and Semiprobe spanning wafer fabrication, device assembly, and test/inspection. Technical differentiation stems from the DELO chemistry range itself, particularly cationic UV-curing epoxies with dark-cure capability for shadow-zone applications and dual-cure systems for complex assemblies, supported by 30+ years of application engineering experience and ISO 9001/14001 certification.

Inseto operates a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market with customers contacting the company via telephone, email, or website for quotes, samples, and technical support. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through distribution margin on adhesive products, dispensing and capital equipment sales, and bundled technical support and process development services. The company is privately held with no external investment identified, operating exclusively within UK and Ireland territory.
