NORTHBROOK, Ill. — The Pressure Sensitive Tape Council (PSTC) is celebrating 50 years of advancing pressure sensitive tapes. The PSTC was founded in 1953 by seven companies committed to the manufacture of tape products high in quality and performance. Today, PSTC’s 26 member companies produce more than 90 percent of all tape manufactured in North America. Two founding members (3M and Permacel, A Nitto Denko Company) remain active in the association and leaders in the industry.
“This trade association has played a vital role in the tape industry for 50 years,” said PSTC Volunteer President Carl M. Allieri, president of Compaq Corp. “PSTC has been the driving force behind numerous industry advances and is its champion in our nation’s capital.”
