NDSN

Nordson Corporation

Nordson is a global precision technology company that builds the machines and equipment manufacturers use to dispense glues, coatings, and fluids with precision — from applying hot-melt adhesives on packaging and nonwovens to making single-use components, tubing, and test systems for the medical, semiconductor, and electronics industries. Its equipment reaches markets across dozens of countries. Founded in 1954 in Ohio by brothers Eric and Evan Nord and their father Walter, the name "Nordson" blends the family name "Nord" with "son" — literally "sons of Nord" — and grew out of the family's screw-machine business after they acquired patents for a "hot airless" spray method of applying paint and coatings.
