tesa Brand Turns 75

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Company officials of tesa tape, inc., an affiliate of tesa SE, a global leader in the manufacture and supply of pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, are recognizing the 75th anniversary of the first tesa-branded product being produced and made available by parent company Beiersdorf.

The roots of the first tesa product date back well beyond 75 years, with an initial adhesive medical bandage developed by Paul Beiersdorf in 1882 in Germany. Beiersdorf patented his adhesive technology, and the Beiersdorf Company and the foundation of the tesa brand were born.
