Valco Melton is one of the world's leading manufacturers of adhesive dispensing and quality assurance systems, with a UK base in Telford, Shropshire supporting customers across the country. Originally established in 1952 and renamed Valco Melton in 2008, the company has spent more than seventy years developing gluing, coating and inspection technology for manufacturers who need speed, precision and reliability on the production line.

For UK customers, that means local access to a genuinely global manufacturer. Valco Melton's world headquarters sit in Cincinnati, Ohio, but the business operates direct sales, research and manufacturing facilities across Europe, Asia and the Americas, with a presence in more than 96 countries through its own offices and a network of dedicated distributors. The Telford office puts that global engineering base and parts supply chain within easy reach of UK manufacturers, without the delays that can come with dealing overseas direct.

The product range covers cold glue dispensing equipment, hot melt dispensing systems, and vision and quality assurance systems built around ClearVision camera inspection technology, which captures and stores high resolution images so nothing gets missed on the line. Also available are pattern control systems and valve drivers, central adhesive supply and pot filling systems, and a range of hot and cold glue hand guns for smaller scale or manual applications. EcoStitch, the company's all electric gluing technology, is positioned as the industry standard for speed, performance and longevity, while the Kube Zero melt on demand system and the EcoStitch MXM applicator represent the latest generation of equipment, both shown at recent European trade events including Interpack.

UK sectors served include corrugated and packaging, envelope and folding carton, print finishing, nonwovens, tissue, automotive, textiles and bag manufacturing, reflecting how widely adhesive application and inspection technology is used across British industry. Whatever the sector, Valco Melton's approach is built around fully integrated solutions rather than standalone machines, aiming to improve productivity, consistency and traceability across the whole production line while reducing downtime, energy use, waste and total cost of ownership.

For UK manufacturers, the combination of a local Telford presence and a seventy year global engineering pedigree means access to custom engineered solutions, parts and service support, and the kind of proactive technical guidance that comes from a company that has spent decades solving gluing and inspection problems across nearly every major industry.
