ATP has its R&D capabilities to develop single- and double-sided high-performing industrial adhesive tapes, tailored individually to specific customer requirements.
The products are manufactured on state-of-the-art coating machines and utilized by customers in a broad range of medical, mobility, construction, electronics, industrial, and graphics applications.
“
We appreciate the hands-on support that Bregal Unternehmerkapital has provided us during our partnership,” said Daniel Heini, president and chief executive officer of ATP. “
Our commitment to environmentally friendly solutions provides a long-term growth opportunity for ATP. We are excited to partner with Arsenal to continue our global expansion and become the partner of choice of specialty water-based tapes to our international customer base.”
Environmentally Friendly Water-based Adhesive Tapes
ATP’s high-quality water-based adhesive tapes are also considerably more environmentally friendly than other adhesive solutions.
Felix Werdin, a Partner of BU, added, “
We appreciate the continuous development of ATP by Daniel Heini and the entire ATP management team into the leading water-based adhesive tapes manufacturer. We are proud to have supported the team to accelerate the company’s overseas expansion over the past years, and we are convinced that ATP is well-positioned for the next stage of its impressive growth trajectory with its new partner Arsenal.”
Roy Seroussi, an Investment Partner of Arsenal, commented, “
We see a significant unmet need for environmentally friendly tapes across technically demanding end markets, and ATP is at the forefront of this substitution trend. Together with Daniel and ATP’s management team, Arsenal intends to accelerate the company’s global growth strategy through innovation, manufacturing extensions, and acquisitions.”
