LOCTITE celebrates over 20 years of supporting future engineering talent with formula student sponsorships
LOCTITE, the global leader in adhesives, sealants and functional coatings, is proud to continue its longstanding sponsorship of Formula Student – the UK’ s most established educational engineering competition, run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. With more than two decades of involvement, Henkel brand LOCTITE continues to help university teams bring their innovative race car designs to life with its trusted adhesives and technical know-how.
Taking place this July at Silverstone, Formula Student provides students from around the world with the opportunity to develop, build and race a single-seater car, applying their academic knowledge in a highly practical and competitive environment. The event attracts more than 100 university teams globally and is widely regarded as a launchpad for careers in motorsport, automotive and advanced engineering.
LOCTITE continues to support student teams by providing advanced adhesives for use in structural, composite and powertrain components, alongside application advice and engineering support.
