• HAR Adhesive TechnologiesFrom its Bedford, Ohio roots, HAR Adhesive Technologies makes and supplies industrial adhesives while pairing them with application equipment and engineering support for manufacturers. Founded as HARAD Chemical in 1962 and purchased by Joe Cerino in 1996, the company has grown from four employees to more than 50 and serves customers nationwide. HAR’s distinctive approach is to examine the entire adhesive process—from difficult product assemblies to high-speed packaging lines—rather than treating the adhesive as a standalone product.BEDFORD, OH
