Developers at tesa SE have now created more than 7,000 products worldwide, as the company celebrates 125 years of innovation.
Whether in smartphones, or protecting from battery fire in the passenger compartment of electric cars, these innovations are used across the world in a variety of applications. In electronic devices, cars, buildings, airplanes – technical adhesive tapes from tesa are taking on an increasingly important function in many industries and in complex processes.
Today, there may be more than 130 adhesive applications in a car. In 2021, adhesive pads are applied by robots to an electric car, while 90 years ago, the suspension strut of a pre-war vehicle was covered with a simple wrap.
For the first generation of smartphones, it was hardly conceivable that a firmly bonded battery could be exchanged without any problems or that all materials could simply be recycled. Today, tesa adhesive technology is proving the opposite in around two billion of these small high-tech wonders.
