GEKKO GOES GLOBAL

UK-based Gekko Industries has become part of one of the world’s leading manufacturers and distributors of adhesives, bonding systems and industrial products.

Called Quin Global, the move means that the revolutionary Gekko G1 adhesive applicator will become available worldwide in countries including the USA, France, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. Launched in July 2011 the unique flooring adhesive applicator has already revolutionised the way flooring contractors operate in the UK and is now set to impress stateside as well as in mainland Europe and across Oceania.

Forming seven leading brands, including the Gekko G1 applicator, Quin Global brings together expertise from the best of American, British and European technology.

It means customers in any of these geographic regions and who operate in the adhesive and bonding sector will be able to source products like the Gekko G1 from a highly credible supplier providing peace of mind and consistency wherever they’re located.

Other flooring brands under the Quin Global group includes the Flexispray pre-pressurised canister systems, incorporating both contact adhesive and tackifier versions of adhesive for bonding down vinyls, carpets and carpet tiles.

Alex Nunn, marketing director for Gekko Industries said, “This is hugely exciting news for Gekko. Considering we only launched last summer, to become part of an international group like Quin Global speaks volumes for the brand.
“We knew it would be a hit with the UK market so to have in place a network that will allow us to take it global is great news for the business.

“With long standing expertise in our field of manufacture and distribution we are now able to provide technical support with hands on advice and field support anywhere in the world.”

The Gekko G1 is a battery-powered upright adhesive applicator that can be used for applying adhesive to floor areas before the fixing of wooden flooring, either solid or engineered. It reduces dramatically the amount of waste produced with flooring companies saving as much as 30% of operator time and increasing coverage by as much as 25%.

Manufactured in the UK, it features an innovative spreader head allowing a clean and precise application across the width of the floor boards.
