Ralph Grogan, Commercial President of Meridian’s Flooring Division, had this to say about the synergy created by being part of Meridian, “The Meridian/Taylor partnership has been a big win for Taylor and our customers. Many of the technologies from the other Meridian Divisions have allowed us to offer our customers new products and solutions they would not have before. For example, technologies from our sister brand Advanced Technology in our Infrastructure Division allow us to get involved with flooring contractors who are moving to polished concrete. Technologies from Evans Adhesives allow us to get involved with Hot Melt and Peel and Stick carpet tile. These are things that Taylor could not have done on its own. Of course, this partnership was also extremely beneficial to our customers during the supply chain crisis coming out of Covid. We were able to use the buying power of the total Meridian Adhesives Group to supply material to our customers where a lot of our competitors could not.”
Gary Bartley of Polycom, a Meridian brand specializing in rPVB production and other product assembly components, explained the value of the association this way: “We became a part of the Meridian Adhesives Group in 2019 and after five years of working together, the advantages of being a part of the Meridian Adhesives Group have grown rapidly. Now we can call on a world class technical group to help with product development and share our unique capabilities with other companies in the Group. We are growing and reaching new heights as being a part of the Meridian Adhesives Group.”
It’s often said that when exceptional people come together, exceptional things happen. Meridian Adhesives Group brings these people together to benefit its customers by helping them bond their product ideas to their goals.
