FactoryRegistry lists 8,041 facilities whose primary industry classification is one of the 4 industries above. This is a list by industry, not a list of makers: Census reports that establishments in these industries produced adhesive films, all types, including pressure-sensitive structural and nonstructural adhesive films, in the shares shown above, and does not say which establishments. Where a plant’s own website or a federal registry names what that plant makes, it appears on the plant’s own page with the source named.
The U.S. Census Bureau recorded this product line in 4 US manufacturing industries in the 2022 Economic Census, as the most specific line those industries reported. At least 51 establishments reported producing it; the count for 2 of those industries was withheld.
These are counts of establishments by industry: the Economic Census publishes them as industry totals and never as a list of plants.
