The beginning - 1983
The history of the Nebulo brand began almost four decades ago, when chemical engineer Miklós Lőrincz developed Hungary's first solvent-free school paper glue without any substances harmful to health. The first water-based Nebulo adhesives appeared in oil bottles on store shelves. The glue helped the students ’work and allowed many school creations to be born. It also made things easier for the parents as it was washable from the clothes.
Appearance of spreading head packaging - 1986
Three years after the release of Nebulo school glue, the packaging was changed, an innovative tube with spreading head was launched to the market. The product was unique on the Hungarian market. The spreading head assured to apply the glue on larger surfaces easily, which children enjoyed the most, so it gained popularity among students. The new packaging also won the favor of parents and teachers, because thanks to its simple application, even the youngest could use it skillfully - without smearing it.
Production development - 1996
As our first small users grew, so did our company. In 1996, we purchased an injection molding and a blow molding machine, with the help of which we were able to manufacture the plastic packaging elements of the adhesives ourselves.
Own production unit - 2004
The little students, who were the first users of Nebulo adhesives in 1983, became adults and established their own families. Nebulo also had been developed with them so in 2004 production moved from the basement of a family house to its own production plant. This new headquarter allowed to manufacture and store more products.
Generation change - 2011
In 2011, Dr. Miklós Lőrincz - the dreamer and creator of Nebulo adhesives - decided to retire deservedly. He handed over the business to his sons, who founded Nebu-Chem Ltd, in order to continue the production of the products with the same values. The history and development of the brand has been lasting unbroken since then. The quality is unchanged from the beginnings, so students still haven’t had to disappoint in their favourite glue product.
New image, new adhesives - 2012
The younger generation started his work with a new, youthful impetus. The most notable change was a new, unified packaging design which made Nebulo products not just easily recognizable on stores’ shelves, but more attractive for the children and their parents. To the delight of primary school students, the product range has been expanded with glue sticks and adhesive gum glue.
Nebulo colouring products - 2014
Beside gluing children love colouring as well. The new management decided to make a significant move in 2014, the product range was widened with child-friendly colouring products in order to make more children happy with the joy of creation. The just launched colouring items as pencils, tempera- and watercolour paints, crayons, oil pastels and felt-tip pens were distributed in the characteristic packaging with the Nebulo figure. The little Nebulo figure became a friend of our little fans during the whole school season.
The product range is constantly expanding - 2015-2018
Given the great success of the first colouring products, the range was expanded steadily during this period. In 2018, little students were able to draw, colour, paint and glue with more than 40 different Nebulo products. By 2018 Nebulo turned into a school supplies brand.
New site, new machines - 2018
Due to the continuous development of the company, it became necessary to build a new site. In 2018 we moved to a new head office, which is adapted to the company’s needs, where everything is available for modern production and warehousing. We also invested in new plastic-, packaging and glue filling machines at the same time.
The location of the new site is excellent, as Nagytarcsa is very close to the capital and M0 motorway, which is one of the most important transport routes.
Change of brand design, start of export - 2019
In order to create a more attractive outlook for children and for export markets the packaging design was changed again. The new image was presented with great success at the Paperworld exhibition in Frankfurt. During the year we started to export Nebulo products to Poland and Romania.
Entering the Paper Products Market – 2024
In 2024, a new chapter began in the history of Nebulo. The brand introduced its very first notebook collection, setting a new standard in the Hungarian stationery market with its outstanding quality and modern design.
The A4 and A5 notebooks featured 70 gsm paper with margins and glossy covers, offering an excellent writing experience while ensuring durability for everyday school use. With this launch, Nebulo entered a new product category where quality and design go hand in hand.
Continuous Expansion of the Paper Products Range – 2025
Following the success of its notebook collection, Nebulo further expanded its paper products portfolio in 2025.
The range was enriched with document pouches, pen holder cups, coloured craft papers, notebook labels, timetables and many other paper products, creating an even more comprehensive back-to-school offering.
The company's goal remained unchanged: to develop products that are practical, durable and visually inspiring for students of all ages.
Entering the Textile Products Market – 2026
In 2026, Nebulo reached another important milestone.
For the first time, the brand introduced its own textile product collection, including school backpacks, pencil cases, gym bags and other accessories designed to make everyday school life more comfortable.
During the development of the new product range, special attention was given to ergonomic design, durability and modern styles that appeal to children.
With this expansion, Nebulo strengthened its position as a comprehensive back-to-school brand rather than solely a stationery manufacturer.
A Unique Artistic Collaboration – 2026
Another remarkable milestone in Nebulo's history was the launch of its first Special Edition Premium Notebook Collection.
The exclusive cover artwork was created by Brunszkó László, professionally known as NIKON ONE, one of the most recognised artists in the Hungarian and international street art scene.
The Graffiti, Fantasy and Fashion collections offer not only distinctive designs but also tell an inspiring story of creativity and artistic expression. The collaboration was created to encourage young people to express themselves, embrace creativity and discover the joy of creating.
The project was accompanied by an exclusive video interview in which NIKON ONE shares his artistic journey, his passion for graffiti and the story behind the collaboration with Nebulo.
The Story Continues...
From Hungary's first water-based school glue to premium notebooks, creative products, school bags and international artistic collaborations, the story of Nebulo has always been one of continuous development, innovation and creativity.
For more than four decades, we have been committed to creating products that not only support learning but also inspire future generations. Because we believe that every great idea begins with a blank page, and every child deserves the best tools to unlock their creativity.
