About Scott Bader
Scott Bader is an employee-owned, independent chemical company founded in 1921 and headquartered in Wollaston, Wellingborough (Northamptonshire, UK). The company develops and manufactures advanced composites, gelcoats, resins, structural adhesives and functional polymers based on water and solvent. In addition, bio-based ingredients for personal care formulations are produced. For the additive manufacturing sector, Scott Bader offers resins manufactured in the UK that are compatible with various 3D printers. The composite and adhesive solutions are used, among other things, in construction, land transport, renewable energy applications (wind and solar), marine/shipbuilding and rail, for example in lightweight, structural and fire-safe systems. Customers are served worldwide via own subsidiaries and distributors and receive global technical support through the company's Knowledge Hub.
