On March 20, 2013, the tesa management board officially presented the business development 2012 and current innivations of the company at the Annual Press Conference in Frankfurt/Main, Germany.

Strong growth in products for cars, tablet PCs, and home improve-ment and DIY stores

• Sales up 5.7%, EBIT margin at 12.9%
• Dynamic development with the electronics industry in Asia
• Consumer business: expansion in Russia, entry into the home bath-room segment
• Pharmaceutical patches: first market-ready goods produced

High quality and a well-known brand can make something a coveted commodity – not only among consumers, but also with counterfeiters. That’s why many manufacturers of name-brand goods put their trust in security concepts from tesa scribos. At the same time, effective anti-counterfeiting measures always have to stay one step ahead of counterfeiters; otherwise, those measures themselves will be imitated on a massive scale. With the new tesa PrioSpot®, tesa scribos offers the highest security level ever achieved. For ten years now, tesa scribos has been continuously advancing its technology platform, so counterfeiters have been unable to copy it or produce even rudimentary imitations.

The consumer electronics segment remains one of the most important driv-ers of tesa’s industrial business. For example, the company achieved more than 33 percent growth with its adhesive tape solutions in the mobile phone segment in 2012.

In tesa’s consumer business, the home improvement and DIY sector con-tinues to be highly important, since it promises positive development pros-pects on a sustained basis. Overall, tesa has been able to assert itself in this segment, achieving growth in 2012 despite the tough market environment in Europe. This accomplishment was driven by two major factors: the stable economic situation in Central and Northern Europe, and various innovations.

Milestones for 2012:

• Positive overall outcome after ten years of the tesa environmental program
• tesa plant in Offenburg named a “Great Place to Work”
