UHU is a world-renowned brand synonymous with adhesives, recognized for its iconic yellow and black packaging. The brand's history began in 1932 when German pharmacist August Fischer developed the first crystal-clear synthetic resin adhesive, which revolutionized the market by being able to bond various materials. The name 'UHU' follows a tradition of naming stationery products after birds, specifically the eagle owl.

Today, UHU operates as a global leader in the adhesive market, producing a wide range of products from the classic all-purpose glue to glue sticks and industrial-strength bonding agents. While much of the production remains centered in Germany to maintain high quality standards, the brand has expanded its manufacturing footprint to other regions to serve international markets efficiently.

Since 1994, UHU has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bolton Group. This acquisition integrated UHU into a diverse portfolio of international brands, providing the financial and logistical support to maintain its dominance in the stationery and DIY sectors worldwide.
