Pritt Stick is the world’s first glue stick, invented in 1969 by Henkel researcher Dr Wolfgang Dierichs who was inspired by watching a woman apply lipstick while travelling in 1967 and wondered why the same twist-up mechanism could not work for adhesives. Owned by Henkel Ltd and manufactured using 97 percent renewable raw material ingredients, Pritt has sold over 1 billion glue sticks in 121 countries and was even certified Space Proof Quality after successful testing aboard the International Space Station in 2001. Offering glue sticks, liquid glues, glue pads and glue rollers, all solvent-free and PVC-free, Pritt products are consistent eBay UK and Amazon UK bestsellers with strong back-to-school and craft demand backed by the Learn and Craft educational programme for children and families.
