who owns tesa?

In 2001, the tesa division of Beiersdorf became tesa AG. Since 2009, it has been called tesa SE and is a 100% subsidiary of Beiersdorf AG. The shared history started in 1890. A failed adhesive bandage led to the first technical tape solution. In 1896, the “Cito sports plaster” was launched.

is tesa sustainable?

tesa follows a holistic sustainability strategy. The company is working actively on this transformation. Using a science-based approach, tesa develops more sustainable products and adhesive solutions for industrial customers. In addition, tesa supports partners and clients with technologies that help them achieve their sustainability goals.

WHAT IS TESA’S HISTORY?

tesa goes back to the year 1896. At that time, the first technical adhesive tape was created with the Cito sports plaster. A test for a new medical plaster had failed before. But this mistake led to a new idea – the first tape. In 1936, tesa launched a clear tape called “tesafilm.” Since then, tesa has developed many more innovative tapes. The focus: High-tech adhesive solutions for industrial customers around the world – from automotive and electronics to the printing industry.
