Scott Bader is an employee-owned global manufacturer of advanced composites, structural adhesives and functional polymers. Established in 1921, we have a century of expertise in manufacturing high-quality, innovative products for a variety of markets around the world. Scott Bader now employs 750 people across 7 manufacturing sites and 18 offices worldwide.

Scott Bader is committed to expanding its global reach, with recent ventures including North America, India, Japan and Australia, while continuing to build on its reputation for innovation, outstanding quality and technical expertise.

Scott Bader is different to most other companies. Our business is based on the simple principle of maintaining a balance between our social purpose and business needs. In 1951 we became the first UK company to hold a Common Ownership Certificate when the Bader family handed over their shares to the Scott Bader Commonwealth Ltd – in simple terms, this means that Scott Bader colleagues own and are responsible for the success and overall wellbeing of the company.

Drummondville's factory

Scott Bader – ATC was founded in Drummondville nearly 40 years ago as ATC Chimiques. In 2013, Scott Bader, a UK based company with over 100 years of history acquired ATC (then known as ATC Formulated Polymers).

Scott Bader ATC specializes in the manufacture of adhesive products based on polyester, vinyl ester and urethane acrylate to serve the composites materials industry, mainly in the marine industry (yachts, sailboats and powerboats).

During 2022, Scott Bader ATC has invested $3.3 million (CAD) to purchase and install new equipment to meet growing demand for its Crestabond® product. Initial production at Scott Bader ATC will focus on the innovative Crestabond® M1 series of 10:1 structural adhesives, suitable for bonding a range of substrates including composites, thermoplastics and metals.
