ADCO Products Inc., a designer and manufacturer of adhesive and sealant solutions, has announced the addition of GMB International (St. Hubert, Canada) as a distributor and warehouse facility for its Window Assembly Systems sealants and adhesive products. GMB International is headed by Gaston Bellanger, formerly North American sales manager for Rohm and Haas Company, who will serve as the ADCO Products sales representative for the Greater Canada region.

"With the addition of Gaston to our sales force, we will be able to seamlessly fill the void left by Rohm and Haas' recent departure from the polysulfide sealants business," says ADCO Products' Randy Braun, Business Manager of Window Assembly Systems. "Our product line, recently bolstered by our purchase of Kommerling, provides a full set of sealant solutions for the window assembly market worldwide.
