Tallaght firm breaks world record
12 May 09

A Dublin company has broken a Guinness World Record after successfully lifting a car weighing more than five tons with just nine drops of glue! Henkel Ireland, which is based in Tallaght and manufactures and fills Loctite Superglue here, won the category of "heaviest vehicle lifted with glue" after lifting a pick-up truck giving a piggyback ride to an additional Smart Car!

The total weight of the vehicles was 5.02 tons - almost one ton more than the previous record. The product used for the exercise, which took place in Germany recently, was classic Loctite Superglue liquid which can be bought in stores across the country.
