tesa - EPDA workshop, 22 May 2025

Exploring Innovation with tesa

As part of our recent EPDA conferences in Bordeaux and Warsaw in 2024 and Hamburg in 2025, member agencies and participants experienced tesa from a new perspective — not as supplier of adhesive tape and packaging solutions, but as a provider of innovative technologies for packaging (closing, reinforcing, damping).

A highlight was the exclusive behind-the-scenes event at tesa’s headquarters in May 2025. Eight designers specialising in structural and communication design from Lithuania, the UK, Argentina and beyond had the unique opportunity to visit tesa’s laboratories and meet the application engineering teams.

During the workshop, moderated by EPDA VP Uwe Melichar alongside Frank Reichmann (Head of Marketing, Printing and Packaging Solutions Europe) and Marco Nieter (Regional Market Segment Manager), participants explored tesa’s product portfolio. The collaboration between material experts and designers sparked a wealth of creative ideas and ideas for innovative product concepts.

We’re excited about what lies ahead — this highly valuable collaboration is sure to continue.
