A major milestone in this journey was the inauguration of tesa’s new state-of-the-art production facility and converting center in Bandar Baru Bangi in 2023. The 1,200 m² site represents a significant investment in local capabilities. By enhancing production and converting capacity, the facility enables tesa to respond more quickly to customer requirements and deliver tailored solutions particularly for the print and packaging industries.
Sustainability is also a key focus of the new center. Designed as an energy-efficient facility and equipped with its own photovoltaic system, the site reflects tesa’s commitment to more sustainable manufacturing and innovation. It demonstrates how environmental responsibility and industrial performance can go hand in hand.
“As we celebrate these 40 incredible years, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to all team members past and present who have contributed to the success of tesa Malaysia. Their dedication, teamwork, and commitment to excellence are the foundation of this achievement,” said Andreas Gunnestrand, Head of Region APAC.
