How APPLIED Adhesives’ Vantage Service Plan Keeps Your Production Lines Running Smoothly

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

A regular maintenance schedule that ensures your equipment receives the proper adjustments and fine-tuning to run at peak performance.

Stop Scrambling for Parts

APPLIED’s extensive inventory of OEM and in house-manufactured KEYSONE brand replacement parts ensures you have the part you need when you need it. We help keep production up and running.

Quarterly or Bi-Annual Billing

Provides a full year of coverage from your first visit, allowing you to stay focused on customers and production, not your budget.

Access to Expertise

APPLIED’s certified service technicians train your team on safe operation and proper equipment care—helping to minimize downtime.

A flexible plan for every facility

We know every operation is different. That’s why we offer a customized plan based on your production needs, equipment volume, and internal resources. Depending on your specific needs, we’ll design a plan that works for you.

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.”
