About Us

Our Mission Statement

We, as an organized team, promise to function to the best of our ability and to make intelligent decisions that will benefit our customers and ultimately will strengthen the financial structure of our corporation.

Pioneer Adhesive Products has been serving the industrial adhesive community for over 20 years. Established in 1993, Vinny Skoczylas started his business venture with his step-son, Rob Porto.  We have been dedicated to providing our customers with the best options at the most affordable prices ever since.

By formulating an array of industrial adhesives, Pioneer offers many different choices based on their vast knowledge of the various ingredients used.  In addition to creating our own custom formulas, Pioneer Adhesive Products stocks many varieties by major manufacturers widely favored by the packaging, woodworking, foam, corrugated and food and beverage industries.  Our product lines consist of hot melts, liquid waterborne resins, contact cements, vegetable and animal base adhesives.

Located in Western New York, just south of Buffalo, Pioneer Adhesive is able to provide prompt delivery to the entire northeast and southeastern Canada.  Since we keep a generous stock of the adhesives in our local warehouse, availability is generally without delay.  Our technical knowledge and formulating skills of adhesives  have been honed down to a science for decades.  We ship our liquid adhesives in 275-gal. bulk tote bins, 55-gal. drums or 5-gal. pails from Buffalo, NY; Memphis, TN; Cleveland, OH; Charlotte, NC.

Our company prides itself on exceptional customer service.  Our job is not complete unless our customers are 100% satisfied.  We are dedicated to serving the industrial adhesive community for many years to come and rely upon our customers’ loyalty and our excellent reputation to grow our businesses together.
