BU x Tesa SE

As a part of international product development course, our master students worked on a practice project for Tesa SE, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of self-adhesive product and system solutions.

Since 1941, the name tesa® has been the umbrella brand used for all self-adhesive products manufactured by the group of companies. The name covers a wide range of different system solutions for industrial and professional applications, as well as about 300 products for consumers.

  • Insight generation: Identification of heavy user/ special interest target groups.
