Eva-Tec DAC is more than just a leading adhesive manufacturer – we are a story of innovation, family, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
Our journey began in 2001 when Joseph M English founded Eva-Tec after a successful management buyout (MBO) of Smurfit Adhesives. Since then, we have been at the forefront of the adhesive industry, specializing in water-based adhesives and serving customers across Ireland, the UK, and Europe.
Our Founder: Joseph M English
Joseph M English, the visionary behind Eva-Tec, had already left a mark on the adhesive industry during his tenure as the lead chemist at Smurfit Adhesives. He was the driving force behind the development of adhesives used to bond the glue flaps on corrugated boxes, cartons, paper sacks, and various specialist applications. Joseph’s dedication to adhesive innovation led to the establishment of Eva-Tec, and his legacy continues to shape our company’s commitment to quality and performance.
