Please update company page[edit]

Please update incorrect data. I am respectfully asking that the reference to the glue sniffing controversy, which occurred nearly nearly 30 years ago. And, if not the entire section, which has a prominent position for something that is old news, please take out the last sentence. We did NOT leave the Latin America market. We exited the shoe manufacturing industry.

New draft article for review?[edit]

Hi editors, I'm Kim and I work for H.B. Fuller. I've spent some time learning and working on a new draft about the company to overhaul the article and help flesh it out significantly. I also made a diff for it, all of which can be found here. I think this draft really helps expand the article and move it out of the "stub" phase. Would anyone be willing to take a look and tell me what you think? @DemocraticLuntz: I am pinging you here since I saw you created the article originally and thought you might be interested in taking another look.

I welcome any feedback editors have and am happy to answer questions! Thanks in advance for taking a look. KS at HB Fuller (talk) 16:36, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox updates[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi editors, I'm Kim and I work for H.B. Fuller. I am hoping someone might review my draft, but in the meantime I thought I'd make some smaller requests, since I know that is a pretty big ask.

I thought I'd start with the infobox, since it is pretty outdated. I suggest the following changes, sourced to the most recent company 10-K as of December 2, 2023^[update].^[1]:

Industry: Change to Adhesives,coatings, and sealants
Founder: Spell out middle name, "Benjamin", to differentiate from other Harvey B. Fullers
Headquarters: Change to St. Paul, Minnesota
Number of locations: Add line, set to 81 (2023)
Key people: Add middle initial "B." to Celeste Mastin for consistency with CFO
Services: Add line, set as Manufacturing
Revenue: Change to US$3.51 billion (2023)
Net income: Change to US$144.9 million (2023)
Equity: Change to US$1.76 billion (2023)
Employees: Change to 7,200 (2023)
Divisions: Add line, set to Hygiene, Health and Consumable Adhesives, Engineering Adhesives, Construction Adhesives

I think those changes make the infobox more complete, accurate, and up to date. Please let me know what you think. KS at HB Fuller (talk) 19:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi editors, for my next request I have some suggested text to expand the History section. I suggest replacing the first two sentences of History with the following as its own separate paragraph:

H.B. Fuller was founded in 1887 by Harvey Benjamin Fuller in St. Paul, Minnesota, as a one-person company making glue for wallpaper.^[1]^[2] By the 1890s, Fuller's inventions included wall cleaners and the company had business throughout the United States.^[3] It incorporated in 1915, and in 1921, Harvey Jr. took over as president.^[4]^[2]
