tesa Super Glue

tesa is one of the world's leading brands in the technical adhesive tapes and self-adhesive product solutions industry. The brand's history dates back to 1896 in Germany, originating from research conducted by pharmacist Dr. Oscar Troplowitz for the Beiersdorf company. Although the first adhesive tape was developed early on, the name 'tesa' was only registered in 1906, initially used for toothpaste tubes and later repurposed for the revolutionary adhesive tape line in the 1930s.

Today, tesa operates as a significant subsidiary of Beiersdorf AG, the same parent company that owns global personal care brands like Nivea and Eucerin. Manufacturing for tesa products is highly globalized, with major production facilities located in Germany, Italy, the United States, and China to serve various industrial and consumer markets worldwide. The headquarters remain in Norderstedt, near Hamburg, Germany, where the brand continues to innovate in both consumer stationery items and advanced industrial bonding applications.
