ROMAN Company Overview

At ROMAN – We Create the Bond that Brings Dreams to Life.

Since 1957, ROMAN has delivered the quality wallcovering adhesives, primers, and removers that PRO installers and DIYers rely on. Acquisitions of Golden Harvest Adhesives in 1996 and Gardner-Gibson formulations in 2021 further expanded our product offering.

ROMAN Company Overview



ROMAN’s responsible stewardship of these trusted formulas has further cemented our position as North America’s number one wallcovering adhesive brand. With distribution to over 14 countries, our products are available across the globe.
Today, we continue this drive to develop innovative products and to grow the wallcovering industry from our headquarters in Calumet City, Illinois. Since our founding, all ROMAN adhesives, primers, and removers continue to be made right here – in the United States.

From the primers that prep a wall for installation, to the adhesives that hold the project together, to the removers used to redecorate, we strive to provide our customers with products that exceed their expectations.
Each pail, can, bottle, and tube that leaves our docks is made with pride, by people who care. Every batch is mixed to exacting formulations and tested to ensure exceptional performance. It’s this commitment to quality that has earned ROMAN’s products a place in the PRO’s toolbox.

We are dedicated to creating a more sustainable future and are committed to achieving the goals set forth in the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda. Our pails are made using recycled plastic, reducing landfill waste.
ROMAN produces the ECO line which includes a primer, a clear adhesive, and a clay adhesive. Each product in the ECO line has very low or zero VOCs. The ECO products are formulated to contribute to the compliance of the most stringent green building rating systems.

Nothing can truly transform a space like a quality wallcovering. Whether it’s vinyl wallpaper, wood veneers, wall carpets or grasscloth, our customers trust ROMAN products for their projects. However it’s used, beautiful walls begin with ROMAN.
