All very nice,
but now let’s
talk about us
MISSION FOR US NOT SO IMPOSSIBLE
We want to create innovative solutions to generate beauty with a performative soul.
OK, that sounds exciting. And it actually is. Since 1979 we have been making products that blend aesthetics and functionality, formal perfection and technical virtuosity. Difficult? Yes, but not impossible. On our side we have the fact that we are Italians, always used to living with beauty and we are experts in finding creative solutions to problems. It is impossible to break away from this approach: it is impressed in our DNA.
VISION
AKA THE FUTURE
WE AIM FOR
We believe that it is only true innovation if it is good for everyone and that shared values always lead the way.
Let’s face it: fashion is not all flowers and tapes. We could give up, instead we combine creativity and ethics to develop more and more sustainable products, without giving up expression and boldness. To do this, we focus on people: our talents, investing in their growth, and partners, choosing only those who share our values. To complete everything, attention to detail, passion and Italian ingenuity. Because we always put in 100% – you can tell from the graphics, right?
A STORY
THAT SOUNDS
LIKE A FILM
Four decades of evolution, air tickets, and success that, to tell the truth, does not seem real.
WE LAUNCH THE DREAM AQUA
Beauty and Performace? Yes. Upgradable? Always. We refine RIO and made it colourful too. DREAM AQUA is born, a new single-sided, water-based polyurethane tape that promises a new revolution.
RIO IS BORN
Investing in new production process keeps our ideas flowing. Literally, we develop Rio: our first water-based mono-adhesive.
FROM MILAN TO HO CHI MINH
We celebrate 40 years of history by inaugurating our new headquarters in Milan. To make sure we don't miss anything, we also open a new office in Vietnam
TIME FOR AN ECO-TWIST
After years of research, we produce the first totally solvent-free double-sided adhesives. They love the environment and we love them, because they have the same quality as their predecessors.
WE REACH HONG KONG
We open a new headquarters in Hong Kong, bringing us closer to our strategic partners. This allows us to offer a glocal service and multiply our inspirations.
WE CREATE 360°
We create our first thermo-welding machine, so we take care of everything 360°: product, machine, customer service. Icing on the cake: we register our NoSo technology.
MONO-ADHESIVE BUT MULTICOLOURED
We completed our studies and created the first line of coloured single-sided adhesive tapes and films. Effort paid off: customers found it the most innovative, beautiful and technical in the industry.
HELLO EUROPE
We start B2B distribution in Europe: we collect airline tickets, shake hands, bring Italian approach and problem solving wherever we go.
WE REGISTER FRAMILON
Framilon, our first polyurethane elastic tape, became a registered trademark. Since then we have always had to put ® next to it. We are all enthusiastic, our marketing department a little less so.
SUSTAINABILITY
We are obsessed with details,
which is why even when it comes
to the planet we never
stop at the surface.
