As a newly joined member of Made in the Midlands we thought we’d offer a brief introduction by way of who we are and what we do.
We’ve been based in Milton Keynes since 1984 and tesa UK Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of tesa SE based in Hamburg which in turn is owned by Beiersdorf AG, responsible for brands such as NIVEA. tesa is one of the largest adhesive tape manufacturers in the world selling more than 7,000 types of tape in over 100 countries and with a global turnover in excess of €1.2bn. For us it’s important to innovate and as such 5% of our turnover goes towards R&D and on average we file for patent protection for over 100 new products each year.
We (sell tape) to all types of manufacturing industries, from automotive to flexographic printing, building and construction to vehicle converters and many more besides, selling either direct or via a network of industrial distributors: either way our aim is to understand the issues you face and make recommendations using tape to help improve your processes and final product. In support of this many of our sales team are from these industries bringing with them the knowledge and expertise they have gained.
We plan to attend as many of the morning networking events as we can and will certainly be present at the exhibition in June where we look forward to meeting you if we haven’t already done so. In the meantime we will be regularly uploading news, case studies and application stories onto our microsite.
