For more than 170 years, Lohmann has produced double-coated adhesive tape technology. To this day, it remains the company’s core business, with about 1,440 patents for adhesive bonds filed thus far.
With a strong history of acquisitions, Lohmann acquired Koester GmbH & Co. KG in 1991; the company manufactures self-adhesive and mechanical closures for diapers and incontinence pads, offering skin-compatible hot-melt adhesives and adhesive tape solutions for hygiene, medical, and technical applications. In 1998, Lohamnn entered into a joint enterprise with Austria-based Rauscher. The resulting company, Lohmann & Rauscher, provides medical products.
