Key Takeaways for Upcoming 2025 European Tape Week
From sustainable chemistries to digital transformation, the entire value chain of adhesive tapes— specialty and commodity alike will take centre stage in Thessaloniki at Afera’s European Tape Week 2025.
Held 22–26 September in Thessaloniki, ETW promises to be the most comprehensive event yet for the global adhesive tapes industry. With its dual structure—the 11th Technical Seminar and the 68th Annual Conference, plus the biannual Committee Meetings—this year’s Programme brings together cutting- edge innovation, critical regulatory insight and forward-looking market intelligence from prestigious sources, including a discussion on economic resilience. Bill Allmond, ASC's President, will speak at the conference on U.S. Policy Implications.
Specialty producers will gain insights into global disruptions and sustainability pressures affecting high-value applications. Commodity producers, often most exposed to price volatility and policy shocks, will take away concrete strategies for managing costs and maintaining competitiveness in packaging and construction markets.
