On behalf of the European Adhesive Tape Association’s Technical Committee, we are pleased to welcome you to Afera’s 9th Tape College.
A unique educational event for the European tape industry
Held in Europe’s capital, the Tape College is a well-established technical learning event providing tape business professionals with the fundamentals and current technical essentials of adhesive tape technology. During this back-to-school experience, field experts will educate you on the principles involved in the selection, manufacture, conversion, application and testing of tapes.
Our attendees, both Afera and non-members
Afera’s premier educational event is designed for those new to the world of adhesive tape technology and is open to all industry professionals, both Afera and non-members alike. Our attendees include those affiliated with adhesive tape manufacturers, suppliers (raw materials, machine and packaging), distributors, converters, end users, research institutions, universities and national tape organisations.
If you work in R&D, customer and technical service, sales, marketing, engineering, production, processing and quality assurance—even general management—you will benefit from receiving a solid overview of the current technologies of the tape business. What’s more, we routinely see a number of returning participants who either want to brush up on their field knowledge or to network.
Our 18-lecture programme designed and presented by experts
Why Tape?, Tapes Deconstructed, Tape Production, Tape Use & Testing... The Tape College programme offers these 4 themed clusters of in-depth lectures, time for debate with presenters and opportunities for networking.
Our event is formulated and hosted by a focussed working group including Ralf Rönisch, head of R&D at Coroplast Fritz Müller GmbH & Co. KG; Gert-Jan van Ruler, Technical Support & Business Development Manager at DRT; Danny Beekman, senior technical associate for application development of adhesives at Kraton Corporation; Ian Grace, business development manager at Loparex B.V.; Martijn Verhagen, team leader for liquid coated adhesives at Lohmann GmbH & Co. KG; Renate Roeterd, technical service specialist for converter solutions in North Europe at Bostik B.V.; and Afera Secretary General Astrid Lejeune.
We look forward to seeing you in class!
