Titebond is the most widely used wood glue brand in the world. Franklin International in Columbus, Ohio has manufactured it since 1955 [1], and from their factory in the USA they today ship over 20 variants to joiners, furniture makers, luthiers and boatbuilders on six continents. In Sweden — and across the rest of the Nordics — Ernst P AB is your channel to the full range. We are the official distributor of Titebond for Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland, import directly from Franklin International and stock the entire product family in Mölndal.
This page is for you if you are looking for where to buy Titebond in Sweden, which products we carry, how delivery works in the Nordics and why it matters to buy from an official distributor rather than a grey-market importer.

Ernst P — official Titebond distributor in the Nordics
Ernst P AB was founded in 1915 in Gothenburg and therefore has more than 110 years of experience supplying professional joinery products to Nordic workshops. Wood glue has been a core category from the start — we began with animal hide glues and fish glues, moved on to urea-formaldehyde during the 1950s, and today hold the most complete PVA range in the Nordic region, with Titebond as our flagship brand.
As the official Swedish distributor, this means in concrete terms:
- Direct import from Franklin International. The products come straight from the manufacturer's factory in Ohio, not via a third-party wholesaler. This guarantees authenticity, freshness and access to the full range — including variants that rarely appear on the Swedish grey market (Translucent, Quick & Thick, the entire PROjug line).
- Complete technical documentation. We have the TDS (Technical Data Sheet) and safety data sheets in Swedish for every product. Warranty claims are handled directly with Franklin International when necessary.
- The whole Nordics in one logistics chain. Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland are served from our warehouse in Mölndal, with tailored customs handling for Norway (IOSS/VAT).
- Swedish customer support. Our workshop staff work with Titebond every day. We have tested every product in a workshop setting and can answer questions about open time, clamp pressure, storage and specific projects — in Swedish, by phone or chat.
- Trade pricing and volume discounts. Furniture workshops, joineries, training institutes and industrial customers have invoice accounts with agreed prices. We negotiate per customer based on annual volume.
Exactly when Ernst P first began carrying Titebond is harder to pin down to a single year — the partnership with Franklin International has been established for several decades and the full European product line has been core to our range for as long as any of us working here can remember. Put simply, it is a relationship we take seriously.

PVA wood glue (D2–D4 per EN 204)
The three main PVA glues from Titebond cover the full scale from indoor use to open weather exposure. Choose the D-class based on where the furniture or product will live — our D-class guide explains the choice in detail.

- Titebond II Premium (D3) — kitchens, bathrooms, covered outdoor spaces, frames. Beige label. Moisture-resistant and our best-selling glue for kitchen joinery.

Pack sizes
Titebond is available from 59 ml syringes (perfect for spot repairs and travel) up to the 18.92 L PROjug (workshop volume with a dedicated pump). Intermediate sizes: 118 ml, 237 ml, 473 ml, 946 ml and 3.78 L. We recommend the 946 ml bottle for the hobby joiner, the 3.78 L PROjug for the semi-pro workshop and the 8.12 L or 18.92 L for a production environment.

Why choose an official distributor?
Titebond is sold on quite a few Swedish sites, and it is not always obvious why you should choose the official distributor over a general tool shop or a grey-market importer. Five concrete reasons:
1. Genuine products — not grey imports
Franklin International manufactures Titebond in Ohio, USA. The products that reach us have a correct supply chain with complete TDS, safety data sheets and traceability. Grey-market imports from China or Eastern Europe can be counterfeit or relabelled — the consequence is often glue that does not perform to its data sheet, which only shows up when the joint fails six months later.
2. Fresh products — not bottles that are 3 years old
PVA glue ages. Franklin's official shelf life is 24 months unopened, but glue that has sat on a wholesaler's shelf for 18 months before reaching the retailer and another 6 months there is effectively expired by the time you receive it. Ernst P has fast stock turnover direct from the factory — the glue that reaches you is typically manufactured in the same quarter.
3. Swedish customer support — from people who use the glue
This is the biggest difference in practice. We have a workshop on site in Mölndal where the glues are used every day. When you ask us about open time in a cold space, whether D3 is enough for an outdoor bench under cover, or which size suits your production, you get an answer from someone who has tested it in the real world — not from a support script.
4. Volume discounts and B2B agreements for professional workshops
We offer invoice accounts for returning customers with negotiated pricing based on annual volume. Joinery factories, furniture workshops, training institutes and industrial customers buy from us on trade terms — not list price.
5. Direct line to Franklin International
When a technical question comes up that we cannot answer ourselves — for example an unusual application or compatibility with a specific solvent — we have a direct line to Franklin International's technical department in Ohio. You get answers within working days, not weeks.
Titebond prices in Sweden
Prices vary with pack size and the SEK/USD exchange rate, but as a guide in April 2026:
<CompareTable caption="Titebond price guide (incl. VAT, SEK/litre)" columns={[ { key: "produkt", label: "Product", highlight: true }, { key: "klass", label: "D-class" }, { key: "pris", label: "Price/litre (guide)" }, { key: "kommentar", label: "Comment" } ]} rows={[ { produkt: "Titebond Original", klass: "D2", pris: "~200 SEK/L", kommentar: "Best value, indoor use" }, { produkt: "Titebond II Premium", klass: "D3", pris: "~260 SEK/L", kommentar: "Our best seller for kitchens" }, { produkt: "Titebond III Ultimate", klass: "D4", pris: "~340 SEK/L", kommentar: "Premium, outdoor + food contact" }, { produkt: "Titebond Extend", klass: "D2", pris: "~280 SEK/L", kommentar: "Extended open time" }, { produkt: "Titebond Liquid Hide Glue", klass: "D1", pris: "~450 SEK/L", kommentar: "Specialist application" } ]} />
Larger packs (3.78 L, 8.12 L, 18.92 L) reduce the price per litre by 20–35 % compared to the 946 ml bottle. The 18.92 L PROjug is normally the most cost-effective size for production workshops with high consumption, provided the pack can be used within 12 months of opening.
Trade pricing for professional customers is 10–20 % below list price depending on annual volume. Exact prices are shown on the product pages when you are logged in with your B2B account.

Titebond vs other PVA glues
Titebond is the premium choice when quality and distributor support are decisive. But we'll be honest: there are good alternatives on the European market, and for some applications they may be a better economic choice.
- Danalim Polyurethane Glue — Danish PU glue, D4-classed and moisture-curing. Bonds wood, metal, concrete and plastic (where PVA does not work). See our direct comparison Titebond III vs Danalim Polyurethane Glue for the difference between PVA and PU chemistry.
- Gjöco — Norwegian manufacture, cost-effective D2/D3. We also distribute Gjöco for high-volume users who want a budget option without sacrificing quality at D2/D3 level.
- Ponal, Soudal — European consumer brands. They work for hobby use but lack Titebond's D4 performance and American documentation standards.
When do you choose Titebond? When you want the world's most proven wood glue, a complete range of specialty glues (hide glue, Translucent, CA glues), D4 in a PVA product, and access to Franklin International's technical support. When do you choose Gjöco? When annual volume is high and D2/D3 is enough — SEK per litre becomes the deciding factor.
