NORDSON CORP

We are a diversified precision technology company that engineers, manufactures, and markets differentiated products and systems used to dispense, apply, and control adhesives, coatings, polymers, sealants, biomaterials, medical components, and other fluids, to test and inspect for quality, and to treat and cure surfaces. Our precision technology can be found in manufacturing facilities around the world, producing a wide range of goods for medical, electronics, consumer non-durable, industrial and other end markets. Equipment ranges from single-use components to manual, stand-alone units for low-volume operations to microprocessor-based automated systems for high-speed, high-volume production lines.

We market our products globally, primarily through a direct sales force and qualified distributors and sales representatives. We have built a worldwide reputation for creativity and expertise in the design and engineering of high-technology application equipment that meets the specific needs of our customers. We create value for our customers by developing solutions that increase uptime, enable faster line speeds, and reduce consumption of materials. We serve a broad customer base, both in terms of industries and geographic regions. In 2025, no single customer accounted for ten percent or more of our sales.
