Hot Melt Equipment, Adhesive, Parts and Service: One Partner

The machine, the glue and the people who keep them running, from one accountable team.

Chicago Glue & Machine is a single source for hot melt equipment, the adhesive it runs, replacement parts, repair and preventative maintenance. When everything comes from one partner, there’s one call to make and no finger-pointing between vendors when the line stops.

Most plants buy glue from one company, equipment from another and service from whoever can show up. When something goes wrong, every vendor points at someone else. Chicago Glue & Machine was built the other way around: we started by selling gluing machines in 1984, added the glue, and then the parts and service to keep it all running.

What One Partner Covers

Equipment

Hot melt units and tank-free systems, applicators and label pasters, to buy or rent

Adhesive

Hot melt, liquid, reactive, adhesive spots and sticks, matched to your substrate and line speed

Parts

Nozzles, hoses, filters, modules and pumps, including replacement parts for Nordson equipment

Service

Repair on site or in our shop, preventative maintenance, audits and loaner rentals

Why It Matters on the Plant Floor

Faster fixes

The team that sold you the glue knows the machine, so troubleshooting starts with the full picture. A call about the glue often turns out to be a machine issue, and our technician can repair it right there.

Fewer vendors to manage

One account, one contact and one invoice for adhesive, parts and service.

The right match

Adhesive and equipment chosen together run cleaner, with less char, clogging and waste.

A backup plan built in

If your unit goes down, a rental can keep you running while we repair yours.
