Neschen to exhibit at FESPA alongside ATP for first time since acquisition

Neschen will exhibit at FESPA Global Print Expo alongside its parent company, ATP Adhesive Systems, for the first time since ATP purchased the company in October 2024.

Neschen, a German manufacturer of adhesives and coatings, will demonstrate its range of self-adhesive media, protection films, mounting films, and laminators at FESPA’s trade show in Berlin from May 6^th to 9^th.

ATP will offer its own range of solutions alongside Neschen including a wide array of its solvent-free, water-based adhesive coatings.

By combining its expertise with ATP’s experience in solvent-free, water-based adhesive technology, Neschen will aim to offer a comprehensive portfolio of adhesive coatings and print media for professionals in signage, displays, and print finishing.

Among the solutions on show will be Neschen’s easy dot technology, which aims to offer bubble-free, repositionable solutions designed for retail displays, trade shows, and interior decoration.

The easy dot aims to completely eliminate air bubbles, with any air escaping through the channels created by the dot adhesive. Installation is possible without water or special tools with the goal of saving time and money in comparison to conventional methods.

Neschen’s wider range of mounting and protection films will also be demonstrated at the expo, including gloss and matt protection films.

In addition, Neschen will demonstrate digitally printable wallpapers developed for interior designers and creative professionals. The wallpapers, with applications including retail spaces and hospitality environments, include a range of unique designs and finishes, all designed for easy application.

Alongside its coating and film solutions, Neschen will also put an emphasis on laminator technology, presenting a selection of machines now available through direct sales in Germany and the Benelux region.

The wider focus on laminating solutions is part of a shift from the company in recent years towards providing more comprehensive access to premium laminators with direct service and support as part of Neschen’s collaboration with a global network of distributors and resellers.

Visitors will see Neschen’s laminators in action with several live demonstrations throughout the exhibition. This includes its EcoLam 1650, which offers cold lamination with optional heat support, alongside the ColdLam 1650, designed for high-end graphics, and the HotLam 1650 TH, developed for professionals working with heat-activated materials.

Nils Honscha, managing director of Neschen, says: "With our first joint trade show appearance alongside ATP, we are strengthening our position as technology leaders and showcasing the combined expertise of two companies that complement each other perfectly.

“Visitors to our stand will see a broad and innovative product offering, backed by decades of experience in adhesive technology."

ATP acquired Neschen from German investment firm Blue Cap in October 2024 for an undisclosed sum, adding to its portfolio of sustainable products and strengthening its production capacity.

At the time of the purchase, Daniel Heini, chief executive officer of ATP Group, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Neschen into the ATP family.

“This acquisition is not just about increasing our production capacity, but also about advancing our shared commitment to sustainability. Together, we will continue to lead the market with innovative, solvent-free solutions.”

Neschen and ATP can be found on Stands A33a and A33b in Hall 6.2 between May 6th to 9th in Messe Berlin.
