QEP Cuts the Ribbon on New Roberts Adhesive Plant in Dalton

Dalton, GA, July 25, 2025-Q.E.P. Co., Inc. celebrated the completion of its latest investment in American manufacturing with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil its next-generation Roberts adhesive manufacturing plant in Dalton, Georgia. 

The advanced machinery and infrastructure enables the plant to double production of adhesives from the previous 18,000 gallons per day to an incredible 18,000 gallons per single shift. The investment also increases QEP’s capabilities with polymer formulations, allowing for greater innovation in the flooring industry.

The ribbon-cutting event showcased the new holding tanks, mixers and state-of-the-art production lines and packaging lines in operation. The event also garnered special recognition from the city of Dalton, Georgia, which thanked QEP for its continued investment in local American production. 

The upgrades and implementation of the new production lines took over three years from concept to completion, during which time production of adhesives never stopped. As always, orders continued to ship complete and on time. The plant is now operating at its new higher output of production and will continue to produce high-quality American-made adhesives for distribution across the country.
