Globally connected through the Shurtape family
For more than 50 years, Kip® GmbH has been a trusted name in the adhesive tape industry and is now one of the leading manufacturers in the field. In 2000, our long-standing and trusted partnership with Shurtape® Technologies LLC was taken to a new level through integration as a wholly owned subsidiary. This close collaboration has significantly expanded our strengths in research, development and production – and has since provided greater opportunities for innovation and quality.
Shurtape® is a global leader in adhesive tape solutions, with locations across North and South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Together, we serve a wide range of industries – from construction and manufacturing to the medical, arts, DIY, and retail sectors.
