​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.

Lecta supports the Asterix charity initiative with a cookbook for Les Restos du Cœur<img alt="" src="/es/news/PublishingImages/nh_Asterix.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /><img alt="" src="/es/news/PublishingImages/nd_Asterix.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /><p>​Lecta has collaborated in the production of <em>Astérix Les 40 banquets: à table avec de grands chefs gaulois!</em> ("Asterix - The 40 Banquets: Dining with Great Gallic Chefs!"), a special publication created in association with the well-known Asterix comic book series to raise funds for the French charity Les Restos du Cœur.</p><p>Published by Éditions Albert René, the book celebrates gastronomy and the fun-loving spirit of the endearing <em>Asterix</em> characters. Featuring 40 recipes inspired by Gallic banquets, it presents readers with iconic illustrations of the legendary feasts accompanied by menus created by 40 famous chefs who have graciously agreed to share their recipes. Anne-Sophie Pic, Mohamed Cheikh, Omar Dhiab, Pierre Gagnaire, Gilles Goujon, Noëmie Honiat, Cyril Lignac and other renowned <em>haute cuisine</em> talents are some of the chefs who have taken part in the initiative.</p><p>What makes this campaign even more special is the fact that all the proceeds obtained from the sale of the book will be used to fight hunger. For each copy of the comic book purchased, five meals will be distributed to the needy through the network of Les Restos du Cœur. This charitable initiative is therefore a unique opportunity for readers to contribute directly to reducing hunger and poverty in France by helping those most in need.</p><p>Les Restos du Cœur distributes more than 130 million meals per year and helps more than a million people throughout France, not only by providing food but in areas like housing and social inclusion as well.</p><p>Lecta, with its ethical commitment, respect and responsibility to communities and society in general, welcomed the opportunity to support this initiative by providing paper to print <em>Astérix Les 40 banquets: à table avec de grands chefs gaulois!</em></p><p>The project demonstrates that partnership between companies and charities has the power to generate a positive impact for society. Through the book, Asterix not only shares his fine feasts but invites everyone to join this charitable cause and help ensure that no one goes hungry.</p><p>More information about the Asterix book: <strong><a href="https://boutique.asterix.com/fr/accueil/303-asterix-les-40-banquets.html" target="_blank">​Astérix Les 40 banquets</a></strong></p><p>More information about Les Restos du Cœur: <strong><a href="https://www.restosducoeur.org/" target="_blank">Les Restos du Cœur</a></strong></p>2/5/2025 9:00:00 AMAbout Us Locations Join the Lecta Team Sales Organization Manufacturing Sites Why Lecta <ddd/> A responsible company Strategic Sustainability Targets and SDGs Environmental Social <ddd/> https://www.lecta.com/en/news/Pages/Lecta-supports-the-asterix-charity-initiative-with-a-cookbook-for-Les-Restos-du-Coeur.aspxLecta supports the Asterix charity initiative with a cookbook for Les Restos du Cœur
