Nordson Corporation

Nordson Corporation is a global leader in precision technology solutions, designing and manufacturing advanced dispensing equipment for adhesives, sealants, coatings, polymers, biomaterials, and other fluids across industrial, medical, and consumer applications. Founded in 1954 in Amherst, Ohio by brothers Eric and Evan Nord, the company has grown from its roots in airless spray equipment to become a Fortune 1000 multinational corporation with operations spanning three key segments: Industrial Precision Solutions, Medical and Fluid Solutions, and Advanced Technology Solutions. The company's heritage traces back even further to 1909 with the U.S. Automatic Company, which specialized in screw machine parts for the automotive industry. After the company went bankrupt in 1929, Walter G. Nord acquired control and reorganized it as U.S. Automatic Corporation in 1935, shifting focus to precision parts manufacturing. His sons Eric and Evan formed the Nordson Division in 1954 to produce and market innovative airless spray equipment. In 1966, the entire operation was merged into Nordson Corporation, marking the beginning of its modern era. The company expanded into thermoplastic adhesion in the early 1960s, developing machines that applied hot glue for packaging and product assembly, quickly emerging as an industry leader. Today, headquartered in Westlake, Ohio, Nordson operates globally with approximately 7,500 employees serving customers in more than 35 countries. The company's precision technologies are essential to manufacturing processes across diverse industries including automotive, electronics, packaging, medical devices, construction, and consumer goods. For over 60 years, Nordson has been at the forefront of adhesive dispensing innovation, helping manufacturers reduce material consumption, increase production efficiency, and enhance product quality. In fiscal 2024, Nordson generated record revenues of $2.7 billion, demonstrating the company's resilience and market leadership in precision technology solutions. Under the leadership of President and CEO Sundaram 'Naga' Nagarajan since August 2019, Nordson has continued to advance its customer-centric business model while investing in innovative technologies for future applications. The company trades publicly on NASDAQ under ticker symbol NDSN and maintains its commitment to engineering excellence, customer service, and sustainable growth.
