The tesa plant in Offenburg places great emphasis on sustainability. The site relies on solvent-free, environmentally friendly production processes and continually invests in energy-efficient technologies. In recent years, photovoltaic systems have been installed on the premises and the car park has been covered with PV modules. This is complemented by the use of an electric boiler, which expands the energy supply and increases the share of electrically generated process heat. The plant also works continuously to improve products and packaging: more sustainable packaging solutions and resource-efficient materials are an important part of ongoing development. In this way, the tesa plant in Offenburg combines innovative adhesive solutions with a clear focus on sustainability and responsible production.
