Most people recognize DAP products from their local hardware store or job site, but they might not know this trusted home repair brand has deep Baltimore roots.
For more than 160 years, DAP Global has helped Americans build, repair, and improve their homes. The company runs its headquarters and manufacturing operations right here in East Baltimore, where teams develop the caulks, sealants, and adhesives that solve everyday problems for homeowners and contractors.
DAP's local R&D lab creates new formulations using advanced material science. These innovations help both weekend DIYers and trade professionals tackle projects with confidence, from sealing bathroom tiles to major construction work.
