The future: new lines of business
With its own research department at the Hamburg headquarters, supported by labs in the United States, Japan, China and Singapore, tesa concentrates on developing special adhesives, new coating techniques, and innovative product solutions.
In this way, tesa solutions are continuously adjusted to the needs of industry and the end consumer, and increasingly specific problem solving systems are developed. One example of this process is the tesa® Holospot system.
tesa® Holospot
In 1998, scientists discovered that tesafilm® is suitable for use as an efficient medium for storage of large quantities of data in a very small space.
The tesa Holospot® technology that developed from this discovery forms the basis of a new line of business for tesa. The digital holograms generated using the Holospot® process protect name brand items from counterfeiting and secure original products against theft on their way along the supply chain.
For the further development and marketing of the new processes, tesa joined with the Heidelberg-based inventors in 2001 to form a subsidiary: tesa scribos GmbH
