tesa Adhesive Packaging Tape

tesa is a globally recognized brand specializing in adhesive tapes and self-adhesive system solutions for industry, professional craftsmen, and consumers. The brand's origin dates back to the late 19th century in Germany, evolving from the Beiersdorf AG company. The name 'tesa' was registered in 1906, though it initially failed as an adhesive bandage name before being successfully reimagined as a branding umbrella for adhesive technical products.

Today, tesa SE operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Beiersdorf Group, the same parent company that owns NIVEA and Eucerin. While tesa maintains its own corporate structure and headquarters in Norderstedt, Germany, its ultimate ownership remains with Beiersdorf. Manufacturing for tesa products occurs at several high-tech facilities across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, though the core engineering and significant production volumes remain rooted in Germany.
