Knowledge, Collaboration and Innovation:
Kemi Pine Rosins Concludes a Successful
WAC 2026 in London
Reflecting on three intensive days of dialogue at the
World Adhesive and Sealant Conference (WAC 2026),
where global industry trends, sustainable innovation
and formulation challenges took centre stage.
From 16 to 18 September 2026, the global adhesives and sealants community gathered at the QEII Centre in London for the World Adhesive and Sealant Conference (WAC 2026), organised by FEICA. Representing Kemi Pine Rosins, our commercial and technical team joined formulators, decision-makers and industry partners from across the globe for three days of high-value exchange and technical insight.
WAC 2026 offered a vital platform to examine the key forces driving the industry forward: from evolving regulatory landscapes and raw material resilience to next-generation bio-based solutions and formulation performance. Across technical sessions and one-to-one discussions, one core message emerged clearly: the future of specialty chemicals and adhesives is built on shared knowledge, close collaboration and continuous innovation.
A Culture of Teamwork and Shared Purpose
The success of this year’s presence reflects the commitment of our team on the ground Firmino Rocha, Nélia Tavares, Beatriz Moreira and Nuno Simão. Commenting on the event, Managing Director Firmino Rocha highlighted the collective strength behind Kemi Pine Rosins’ market presence:
“More than individual dedication, what truly stands out is how we operate as a team supporting one another, sharing technical insights and solving challenges together. Strong results matter, but the commitment, responsibility and mutual trust with which we achieve them are what truly make us stronger. It is a genuine privilege to work alongside such a dedicated team.”
Looking Forward
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to FEICA for curating an outstanding conference programme that brought the sector together, and to every client, research partner and industry peer who visited our team to share insights and discuss future developments.
London marks another important milestone in our journey, but the technical dialogue continues. As we enter the final quarter of the year, our focus remains on translating these valuable discussions into tailored, high-performance rosin
derived and bio-based solutions for our global partners.
