​Strategically located in Aschaffenburg, the facility has a surface area of more than 4,000 m² for facestock, adhesives and liners

Barely months after opening, intensive work is underway at the new Adestor by Lecta converting plant in Germany to deliver orders for the full range of self-adhesive materials produced by the company with optimal efficiency.

Its location in Aschaffenburg, in the state of Bavaria, means that nearly all the major cities of Central Europe, including Berlin, Munich, Paris, Amsterdam and Prague, lie within a 500-kilometer radius. Its proximity to Frankfurt is another asset.

The new slitting and distribution facility has a floor area of more than 4,000 m², half of which are used for a metal rack storage system with a capacity for 400 jumbo reels, over six million square meters of self-adhesive paper.

Production is carried out with two winders and a finishing line that includes a roll handler and packer, amongst others. An automatic packing line and a slitter rewinder will soon be added to the production area to deliver even greater efficiency and reduce trim losses.

The two loading bays, ancillary services – including workshop, areas for compressed air, maintenance equipment, ​changing rooms and more than 300 m² of office space complete a facility that will operate independently and provide 24hr-48hr service to all of Northern Europe.

“We're building a great team in Aschaffenburg. Our aim is very clear: to be closer to our customers in Central and Northern Europe so that Adestor by Lecta becomes a European global player, extending our strong tradition beyond our domestic markets in Southern Europe,” said Luis Ibáñez, Lecta Self-Adhesive Aschaffenburg Site Leader.

As part of Lecta's strategic plan, this is a key step for achieving the company's growth targets in the self-adhesive market. The success of this project should benefit all Lecta's mills, undoubtedly the largest and most important supplier of materials for the Adestor range.
