Founded in 1851 as a wholesale business, Lohmann consists today of two business divisions bound under the roof of Lohmann GmbH & Co. KG. This consortium includes the Lohmann Adhesive Tape Group and the joint venture Lohmann & Rauscher, a well-known provider of medical products. With approximately 1,400 employees Lohmann is one of the few adhesive tape manufacturers worldwide covering the complete value-chain of adhesive tape solutions. The company’s capabilities span from adhesive polymerization and formulation to coating, converting and supplying intricate die-cut-parts.

In all areas of life, in all industries and in virtually every technical application, adhesive tapes play a significant role. Adhesive tapes are not only extremely versatile in their applications but they provide an adequate and cost-effective alternative to conventional fastening methods. Lohmann offers mainly customized solutions and takes care of its customers from the very first idea up to process-sure automatic applications. This is also shown in the group's new company logo which is subtitled with the wording: Coating. Converting. Customizing.

The group covers the market segments of Transportation, Consumer goods, Building & Construction Graphics, Mobile Communication and Hygiene. Lohmann is represented worldwide with subsidiaries in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Great Britain, Sweden, Denmark, China, Korea, India, Mexico and USA, and through agents in more than 50 countries.

In today's printing business the name Lohmann is inseparably connected with the DuploFLEX® brand, which reflects a graphical know-how of more than 50 years. Therefore, Lohmann is aware what is needed in flexoprint today: customized solutions which meet the individual needs of the customers. The company develops products for the printing industry which achieve more than just fastening printing plates on cylinders or sleeves; they are optimizing the printing process and making a significant contribution to the printing result. With its portfolio of plate mounting tapes, Lohmann supplies not only the needs of the flexographic industry but also offers a quite unique construction of its products.

No other plate mounting tape in the market today can compare with this feature concerning the reinforcement. Conventional compressible plate mounting tapes consist of a reinforced film on one side... In comparison to this, the DuploFLEX®  tapes own a reinforced film on both sides and therefore are able to compensate excessive pressure. In other words, the screen dot is not squeezed and keeps its original size.

Knowing that ever-increasing customer demands and complex print jobs place high demands on today's flexographic printing, Lohmann optimized its DuploFLEX® range and developed even newer products. To learn more about specifics within Lohmann innovation and DuploFLEX® tapes, visit their website.
