Kenneth, a native Memphian, graduated with a Bachelors of Business Administration majoring in Management from Lambeth College in 1984. After the summer of 1983 selling Bibles and other books with the Southwestern Publishing Company door to door in rural Kansas, sales became his area of interest.

After a few years, he was given the opportunity and challenge to open up the Texas market for Specialty Adhesives. By 1999, Kenneth had developed enough business to establish a warehouse and subsequent plant in Fort Worth. In the following years, Kenneth grew the business by providing excellent customer service, quality products, and on time deliveries -- a hallmark of the growth and philosophy of Specialty Adhesives and Coatings, Inc. Today, Kenneth Patton, a 20 year veteran in the industry, is the General Manager and Regional Sales Manager for our new larger facility in Grand Prairie, Texas and continues to grow the business as the company outperforms others in this industry.
