The UK-based specialised adhesive tape converter BDK Industrial Products Ltd. is becoming part of leading water-based adhesive tapes manufacturer ATP Adhesive Systems Group based in Switzerland. The combination strengthens the market position of both companies and allows to offer an even wider range of tailor-made solutions to its customers.
ATP Adhesive Systems Group
ATP Adhesive Systems Group has exclusively focussed on water-based technology for over 30 years. The company serves a wide range of end markets, offering tailor-made solutions through its in-house R&D capabilities. ATP employs approximately 300 staff across its production site in Germany and its headquarters and development centre in Switzerland.
BDK has established itself in the healthcare sector and other industries where controlled manufacturing conditions are required with significant converting capabilities of specialised adhesive tapes over the recent years. The company’s CEO Nick Falconer, together with his team, will continue to run the firm’s operations from their Ipswich location.
Both firms’ mutual dedication to offer tailor-made solutions to its customers, coupled with ATP’s R&D and coating expertise, as well as BDK’s process know-how and reputation in the healthcare market are highly complementary. The management teams of both companies expect to significantly increase its service offering to existing and new customers through the combination.
