About Norland Corporate Philosophy and History Norland Products Inc. began in 1960 as a manufacturer of specialized gelatin used in the electronics industry. Modern industry evolves on technical know-how. The market we wanted to enter would be dependent on the technical expertise that we could furnish. This is also the age of specialization. Initially we decided to concentrate on light sensitive adhesives and coatings.
Large corporations require substantial volumes to warrant producing a specific product.
We felt that there was a potential for a small company which could manufacture products that a large corporation would never consider. We therefore agreed to develop products that had relative low volume, but were high in value and were technically sophisticated. During the past 35 years we have developed a line of products that command considerable interest in the market place. Our relationship to the camera industry led us to the development in 1973 of a line of ultraviolet curing adhesives originally used for bonding camera lenses, but later branching out into military optics, fiber optics, and electronics. Some of the products we manufacture include fish gelatin, ultraviolet curing optical adhesives, UV curing electronic adhesives, and fiber optic equipment.
