ATP opens new production facility
25 August 2015
In June ATP Graphics, part of the ATP Group, held an opening ceremony for its new production plant in Germany.
In the presence of local councillors from the village of Mihla, the owning family, employees and their families, and the executive general, contractor company Vollack Management + Beteiligungen GmbH & Co KG handed ATP a ‘Poseidon’ statue, to ‘protect the good fortunes of the new company’. The ceremony was followed by a summer festival for more than 500 guests, and regular guided tours of the new facility were offered throughout the day.
With an overall investment of approximately 20 million euros, the new site includes a production and warehousing facility with a 12,000m² floor area, together with an 860m² office complex. The central focus point of the new factory is a new 70m long, state of the art coating line with clean-air manufacturing allowing ATP to offer adhesive tapes with exceptionally high-quality optical appearance.
The new production facility will create up to 50 new jobs for highly trained staff. In addition ATP will be offering more training places for new job starters. Every year the company offers school leavers training places in various departments including the laboratory, engineering, warehousing, logistics and customer service.
The ATP Group manufactures single and double-sided adhesive tapes from a wide range of adhesives and backing materials, including self-adhesive and thermally-activated adhesive products for a wide range of customers.
The manufacturing processes used by ATP comply with the very latest technological and environmental standards with adhesives being developed exclusively in-house. Its products are used across a variety of industries including automotive, building, construction and graphics.
