Wisdom Adhesives dates back to 1875 when I sold and distributed glue from Peter Cooper's Glue, the largest adhesive manufacturer in the world at the time.

The History of Wisdom

A Cohesive History of Customer Service

Founded in 1875 by Phillip Wisdom in the wake of the Chicago Fire, Wisdom Adhesives has weathered the Great Depression, rationing of raw materials during World War II, increasing competition, and the incredible changes in technology and industry since the birth of the Electronic Age.

Wisdom Adhesives has been and continues to be an innovator and manufacturer of custom adhesives. During the last seven years, Wisdom has tripled its sales by expanding into new industries. Packaging is now the Wisdom Adhesives’ largest market, yet the company continues to serve its original market of bookbindiers and publishers, a list of which reads like a historical “Who’s Who.”

Wisdom also serves the graphic arts, paper, product assembly, textile, display and many other industries. Wisdom Adhesives has a long-standing commitment of responding to customer needs faster than any company (with a 24 hour turnaround) and providing personalized service second to none.
