Full-service equipment solutions

When you think of APPLIED, chances are adhesives are the first thing that comes to mind — and for good reason. We’ve built our reputation on providing high-quality adhesive products that meet the demands of fast-moving, high-output industries. But because we’re also a full-service solutions provider, our goal is to keep your adhesive equipment running like clockwork.

Whether you’re in plant engineering, procurement, or operations, you’re juggling a lot.

  • Plant engineers need to hit tight launch deadlines while maintaining precision performance.
  • Procurement managers have to find reliable partners and keep budgets on track, even as supply chain challenges evolve.
  • Operations leaders are focused on maximizing throughput while minimizing unplanned downtime.

No matter your title, if you’re responsible for keeping production on track, you know equipment issues don’t just slow you down — they can bring everything to a halt. And that’s exactly what the Vantage Program is designed to prevent.

A comprehensive plan that saves the day

Let’s break it down. Here’s what you get when you choose a Vantage Service Plan:

Prevent Costly Downtime

With scheduled maintenance visits from our expert techs, your adhesive equipment gets the fine-tuning it needs to keep humming. We help you stay ahead of wear and tear so you don’t get surprised by breakdowns at the worst possible time.

Stop Scrambling for Parts

Ever found yourself stuck waiting for a replacement part that’s suddenly out of stock? Vantage customers get access to our full inventory of OEM and KEYSTONE brand parts—high-quality, factory-tested, and compatible with the top equipment brands in the industry. You even get a discount.

Simplify Your Budget

One purchase order covers a full year of service. No more nickel-and-diming your way through maintenance tasks or tracking down emergency invoices. It’s predictable, streamlined, and easy to manage.

Expert Support When You Need It

Our certified service technicians don’t just know your equipment—they teach your team how to keep it running smoothly. Whether it’s a quick tune-up or an in-depth training session, they’re there to make sure your line stays up and running.

Real results: Combatting unscheduled maintenance with APPLIED Adhesives

A beverage co-packer in the Midwest was struggling with maintenance costs and frequent equipment issues that were disrupting their schedule. After switching to a comprehensive plan with us, they saw a dramatic decrease in downtime, and maintenance costs became much easier to forecast and control.

Just as importantly, their internal team felt more confident operating the equipment after training with our certified technicians.

“APPLIED assured us they would help us get our glue usage down and ensure top performance,” the company’s procurement analyst said. “We felt that APPLIED was providing a holistic solution rather than simply shipping us material.”
