Efficient Procurement of Adhesive Tape Solutions
for the Automotive Industry

The procurement process in the automotive supply industry can generally be very time-consuming and frustrating. Constant queries and long waiting times for quotations are just some of the challenges. As a specialist adhesive tape converter, we would like to give you some valuable tips on how to obtain a tailor-made quotation quickly and easily – without time-consuming queries and long waiting times.

First and foremost: the importance of accurate information

A clear and comprehensive information base is the key to fast and accurate quotation preparation. The more details we know about your specific requirements and conditions, the better we can offer you a tailor-made solution. We have compiled the most important information we need from you.

1. Material Selection

  • Do you need a structural bond, an assembly aid, or a temporary or long-term adhesive bond?
  • Which materials need to be bonded together?
  • What temperatures must the bond withstand in the short and long term?
  • How much UV exposure will the application face?
  • Is the bond exposed to moisture?
  • What thickness should the material have?
  • Does the adhesive tape need to absorb vibrations or shocks?
  • What forces (shear, tensile, peel, cleavage) will act on the bond?
  • Will the bond come into contact with solvents? If so, which ones and in what concentration?
  • Are there specific requirements such as thermal or electrical conductivity, insulation, or specific colors?
  • Does the material need to meet certain standards (e.g., UL, automotive)?

2. Appearance Details

Even if the final design is not yet determined, some basic information is crucial:

  • What does the component to be bonded look like? Can you provide us with 2D or 3D data of the component?
  • How should the assembly be done (manually, semi-automatically, or fully automated)? How should the parts be delivered (individual parts, on sheets, on rolls)?
  • What do the upstream and downstream processes look like? Is an automation specialist already involved?

3. Quantities and Timeline

To include a realistic timeline and quantity planning in our offer, we need:

  • What is the planned start and end of production?
  • What are the annual and planned call-off quantities?
  • Where should the deliveries go?
