With a built reputation for innovation, quality and excellent customer service, it is no surprise that some of the biggest players in markets such as transportation, wind energy, marine and building and construction (to name but a few), look to Scott Bader for technical advice and solutions. For leading manufacturers of temperature control vehicle conversions, Solomon Commercial, Scott Bader offered the perfect solution required for temperature controlled bodywork including multi-temperature solutions, fixed/ moving partitions, shelving designs, door closure and entry locations, as well as temperature monitoring equipment. Before, Solomon's vehicle body parts were assembled using a combination of mechanical fixing with rivets and bonding with a PU adhesive. Thanks to Scott Bader's innovative solutions, Solomon have now made the switch to using Crestabond®, an MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) structural adhesive and are now confident with this assembly method and long term performance in use. Solomon's Director, Michael Solomon, commented "Solomon Commercial does whatever it takes to provide high quality temperature control vehicles and if that means investing time and money then we do so to remain the market leader. Scott Bader has become an important key supplier to us. This is down to all the technical help we received to significantly increase shop floor productivity very cost effectively, as well as reliably supplying high quality products. They worked closely with the Solomon Operations team to ensure a smooth introduction of the Crestabond adhesive into our production process. Overall, we feel we have backed a winning horse to help us stay ahead of our competition and to achieve key business goals." Crestabond structural adhesives are used in the production of bespoke temperature control bodies. The versatility of this product has reduced assembly times, allowing production capacity to be increased without the need for investment in more space and manpower.
