About Elmers

For over 70 years, Elmer’s has been the premier brand for quality adhesives and craft supplies. It all started in 1947 when founder Elmer Gross revolutionized school arts and crafts with the first white glue specifically formulated for classrooms. Since then, the Ohio-based company has grown into a leading manufacturer of innovative adhesives, as well as essential arts, crafts and DIY products.

While the Elmer’s selection has expanded greatly over the decades, their commitment to empowering makers and creators remains unchanged. The company aims to make creativity accessible, easy and fun for crafters and builders of all ages. Elmer’s offers specialty glues, rubber cements, spray adhesives and more, expertly designed for every application and surface.

Product quality is paramount at Elmer’s state-of-the-art American production facilities. Extensive testing ensures adhesives meet strict standards for optimal bonding strength, flexibility and longevity. A dedicated R&D lab pioneers new formulas and improvements based on consumer needs and creative trends.

Importantly, Elmer’s gives back by supporting arts education and donating supplies to schools and charities nationwide. The brand strives to fuel young imaginations and make hands-on creation possible for all youth. Looking ahead, Elmer’s plans to expand their offerings while inspiring crafters through digital content and community engagement. As long as people keep making, Elmer’s will keep providing the products to make their visions stick.
