Intertronics: Driving Innovation in Adhesives and Assembly Solutions
For over four decades, Intertronics has been at the forefront of providing high-performance adhesives, coatings, sealants, and application equipment to industries that demand precision and reliability. From electronics and medical devices to automotive and aerospace, Intertronics’ expertise ensures that manufacturers can optimise their bonding and assembly processes with cutting-edge solutions.
But beyond the materials and technology, what truly sets Intertronics apart is its culture of curiosity, collaboration, and responsiveness. Led by founder and executive chair, Peter Swanson, the company thrives on sharing knowledge, supporting customers with expert guidance, and building strong partnerships.
A Technology-Driven Approach
At the heart of Intertronics’ operation is its Technology Centre in Oxfordshire, where customers can test and refine their processes in real-time. This hands-on approach enables businesses to de-risk their production, improve efficiency, and stay ahead of the curve in an ever-evolving market.
The company’s core values—collaboration, empowerment, growth, and responsiveness—are not just words on a page but principles that shape every interaction, from customer service to research and development. Whether it’s helping a startup refine their assembly process or guiding a global manufacturer towards more efficient bonding techniques, Intertronics prides itself on being a trusted partner, not just a supplier.
Making a Difference in the Community
Beyond business, Intertronics has a strong commitment to giving back. Through initiatives such as:
- Employment opportunities for people overcoming addiction (in partnership with The Ley Community),
- Work experience placements for young people,
- Charitable donations to causes close to employees’ hearts,
- Paid volunteering days for staff to support local initiatives,
…Intertronics ensures that its success translates into positive social impact. Peter Swanson himself is a strong advocate for businesses playing an active role in their communities, believing that corporate responsibility goes hand in hand with sustainable growth.
Peter Swanson: A Leader in Innovation and Business Growth
Peter brings decades of industry experience and a deep understanding of technical sales, marketing, and strategic growth. Having built Intertronics from the ground up, he has witnessed transformational changes in the UK manufacturing sector and continues to adapt, innovate, and lead.
Beyond Intertronics, Peter plays an active role in supporting SMEs and entrepreneurs. As a Visiting Fellow at Cranfield University School of Management, a mentor for Virgin Startup, and a Growth Coach for GrowthAccelerator, he is passionate about helping other business leaders navigate challenges and seize opportunities.
Reflecting on his journey, Peter shares:
“I built this business through the highs and lows of the global economy and the developments of technology and manufacturing. My passion lies in helping other business owners and leaders craft strategies for sustainable growth.”
Looking Ahead
As Intertronics continues to grow, innovation and collaboration remain at its core. Whether it’s introducing new adhesive technologies, supporting the next generation of engineers, or giving back to the community, the company’s mission remains clear: helping businesses succeed through expertise, partnership, and high-quality solutions.
With Peter Swanson’s leadership and a dedicated team driving progress, Intertronics is not just shaping the future of adhesives—it’s shaping the future of manufacturing itself.
