What Dispense Technologies does

Dispensing.com is an e-commerce platform that sells adhesive and fluid dispensing equipment, consumables, and related services to industrial manufacturers across North America. The company operates as a digital sales channel powered by APPLIED Adhesives, a custom adhesive solutions provider founded in 1971, and serves manufacturers in automotive, aerospace, electronics, food and beverage, and construction/infrastructure sectors. Dispensing.com's portfolio spans meter mix (two-component) dispensing systems, single-component dispensers, supply pumps for pails and drums, cartridge and syringe dispensers, valves and components, and UV cure systems. It functions as an authorized distributor and integrator for major brands including FANUC (collaborative robots including the CRX series), Graco (metering systems including the E-Flo iQ electric servo-driven platform), Techcon Systems (syringe dispensers and benchtop robots), Uvitron (UV cure), Infinity Bond, AST, Sulzer Mixpac, and HG. A flagship offering is the mobile collaborative robot dispensing cart, which integrates a FANUC CRX 20iA/L cobot with the Graco E-Flo iQ system for single or dual-component materials, and the company operates multiple ISO-certified testing facilities for application validation and custom equipment builds.

The company generates revenue through multiple streams: equipment and dispensing system sales, consumables and replacement parts (syringe barrels, cartridges, needles, hoses, filters), material repacking services that downpack bulk adhesives into specific package sizes, on-site and remote equipment service and maintenance, and system integration services that combine dispensing equipment with robotics, vision, and PLC controls from FANUC, Allen-Bradley, and Coherix. Its go-to-market combines self-service e-commerce browsing with consultative phone-based sales supported by application engineers and dispensing specialists, with most industrial equipment priced via custom quote and consumables sold at tiered unit pricing. The platform ships from U.S. warehouses to customers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with worldwide shipping available via direct contact for large or specialized orders. The business benefits from the operational backbone of APPLIED Adhesives' 300+ professionals across North America, providing on-site technician support, custom engineering, ongoing maintenance contracts, and consultative equipment recommendations as a differentiated service layer atop the equipment resale model.
