Manufacturer of technical adhesive tapes and industrial adhesive solutions

GERGONNE INDUSTRIE designs, develops, and manufactures high-performance technical adhesive tapes for our four major markets: industry, automotive, construction, and medical.

Driven by a policy of continuous and ambitious investment, our company now has one of the most modern machine parks in Europe. This industrial excellence enables us to guarantee our customers products that meet the highest standards of quality, reliability, and performance.
We control the entire value chain: from the manufacture of our adhesives to coating and conversion into rolls. This vertical integration gives us total control over processes, great production flexibility, and perfect cost control.

The expertise of our teams, the performance of our industrial resources, and the agility of a medium-sized industrial and family-owned company enable us to design customized adhesive solutions that set our customers apart, all for volumes well below the standards of large adhesive manufacturers.

Adhesive Formulation

GERGONNE INDUSTRIE has recognized expertise in the formulation of industrial adhesives and technical adhesive compounds.

– Advanced expertise in acrylic chemistry: water-based acrylic adhesives (emulsion), solvent-based acrylic adhesives, and more recently solvent-free acrylic adhesives
– Other chemistries: synthetic rubber adhesives, silicone adhesives, polyurethane and silicone gel
This chemical versatility enables us to develop customized technical adhesive tapes that meet the most specific requirements: temperature resistance, adhesion to complex substrates, high mechanical stress, compliance with industry standards, etc.

Integrated R&D and Laboratory – Our R&D team relies on a 400 m² laboratory dedicated to the research and development of industrial adhesive solutions.

We validate each formulation according to customer specifications through rigorous testing using specialized equipment: dynamometers, shear and cohesion test benches, infrared spectrometer, X-ray fluorescence analyzer, climate chambers, UV chamber, electron microscope, flammability chamber, fogging testing equipment, goniometer (surface tension measurement), etc.
This advanced analytical capability ensures the performance, reliability, and regulatory compliance of our technical adhesives.

At the industrial stage, our adhesives are produced using automated formulation units, ensuring reproducible performance through control of process parameters.

Adhesive Coating

GERGONNE INDUSTRIE has state-of-the-art industrial equipment, among the most modern in Europe in the field of technical adhesive coating.

Our machine park consists of five coating lines (including one in an ISO-8 clean room) with extensive technical capabilities:

• multi-coating technologies
• coating weight: 10 g/m² to 2000 g/m²
• maximum coating width for water-based adhesives: 2250 mm
• maximum coating width for solvent adhesives: 2100 mm
• coating in full width or zone coated
• in-line release and primer application possible

Conversion into rolls and spools

The slitting of technical adhesive tapes to width is a strategic stage of the industrial process. For many projects, it is the final operation before shipment, directly impacting the quality perceived by the end customer.
Controlled slitting ensures optimal winding quality and precise dimensional consistency.

To meet these high standards, GERGONNE INDUSTRIE relies on a fleet of state-of-the-art slitting machines designed to comply with the most demanding industrial requirements.

We are experts in both adhesive tape cutting technologies: slitting and slitting and rewinding.

We also use spool winding technology. Spool winding of technical adhesive tapes involves winding several hundred to several thousand linear meters of narrow adhesive tape (approximately 5 to 25 mm wide) onto a single reel, known as a spool or wound reel.
This technology is particularly valued for direct integration into continuous production lines, especially in processes such as plastic extrusion or automated assembly lines. The operational benefits are immediate: significant reduction in reel changes, fewer machine stoppages, increased productivity, etc.
