Established in 1949, Permoseal has maintained a solid reputation as a leading manufacturer and supplier of a wide range of adhesives, sealants and DIY products for general and specialised applications in both the consumer and industrial markets. The first company to launch Cold Glue to the South African market (in 1954), PERMOSEAL concluded a licensing agreement with Ebnother of Switzerland and began to manufacture locally in 1963. The Jacobs family acquired the business in 1984 and built a state of the art manufacturing plant in Montague Gardens, Cape Town in 1990. Later, branches were established in Gauteng and Kwa-Zulu-Natal. When the family first took over the Company, Alcolin Cold Glue alone accounted for over 65% of the total sales! The Jacobs brothers built up the Company on the strength of the Cold Glue market, continuously adding innovative new products to the range. The Alcolin brand is synonymous with quality DIY products and has remained the brand leader in South Africa since its launch. Close international ties ensure our product ranges are manufactured to exacting standards.
