A Record of Innovation … A Focus on Satisfaction
Hot Melt Technologies was founded in 1981. Today with thousands of satisfied customers around the world, HMT remains true to our original vision and purpose. We have grown the right way … focused, steady and carefully. We did not expand through mergers or acquisitions; we did not resort to copy-cat engineering. Instead, we paid close attention to the challenges confronting our customers; we identified unmet needs; and we developed the systems, components and programs to meet those needs.
By doing it the right way, HMT built more than just a company. We built a reputation as the “go-to” team for everything hot melt — one innovation and one satisfied hot melt customer at a time.
