History
Loose shoe soles
In 1938, Cornelis van de Reepe, a Dutch wholesaler in shoes and leather goods, laid the foundations for what is now a global operation. Van de Reepe was constantly annoyed at the fact that shoe soles were always letting loose. He developed an adhesive based on natural rubber: Perfecta Supra.
The adhesive became an instant success and Van de Reepe decided to give his company the impressive name of “Vereenigde Chemische Bedrijven Perfecta-Handelsonderneming Corn. V.d. Reepe & Zoon” or , in short, "Perfecta".
World's first contact adhesive
In 1958, the company developed the world’s first contact adhesive: Bison Kit®. Today, Bison Kit® sells hundreds of millions of units worldwide annually.
Since the 1960s, Bison Kit® has been the best selling contact adhesive throughout the Gulf States. There have been innumerable attempts to ride the wave of our success. It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Names like Camel Kit, Lion Kit, Pigeon Kit and Bond Kit go to show how popular we are.
Montagekit® is another no-nonsense Dutch product developed by Bison. Montagekit® by Bison is widely recognized as an excellent alternative to nailing, screwing and drilling.
