For future-oriented automotive production

Double-sided adhesive tapes are playing an increasingly important role in bonding both two identical and two different materials with each other. This tape has properties that other types of connection, including rivets, welding and screws, can’t offer.

In addition, adhesive tapes and foams reduce weight and can often be more easily and efficiently integrated into production processes. For example, adhesive foams not only have excellent sealing qualities but also reduce disturbing noise levels.

We specialize in developing and implementing a customized adhesive solution for every type of adhesive bonding requirement and application. Implementation draws from either existing products or from new developments generated in cooperation with the very best manufacturers in the adhesive industry.

If there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this More adhesives than ever before will be used in automotive production in the future. Up to 15 liters of adhesives* on average are already being used in one of today’s passenger cars. Taking the road with every new car* that rolls off the assembly lines are up to 50 different adhesives. These quantities will continue to increase in the future.
