ATP Graphics opens new production facility
ATP Graphics has opened its latest state of the art production plant for water-based adhesive coatings in Germany.
The opening ceremony was followed by a summer festival for more than 500 guests.
The overall investment of €20 million for the site includes the construction of a production and warehousing facility with a 12,000 square metre floor area, together with an 860 square metre 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 high quality optical appearance.
The new production facility will create up to 50 new jobs and 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 is an international, independent group of companies, which specialises in the development, production and sale of technical adhesive tape systems. The company 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.
The company employs over 220 people at three sites, Wollerau, Switzerland, Wuppertal and Mihla/Buchenau, in Germany. Customers are supplied with a wide range of adhesive products, particularly for the automotive, building and construction and graphics industry.
Since it first opened for business in 1988 the company has grown steadily and has continually expanded its production site in Germany.
