ADHETEC

ADHETEC makes high performance solutions that customise, protect or mask surfaces. It serves aerospace, railway, automotive and industrial markets. The company began over four decades ago in Tarbes, in southwest France, and it is part of the INSPERIAL Group, a global maker of customised materials for transport.

For aircraft, ADHETEC offers cabin laminates, livery decals and markings. Its livery decals are OEM qualified. The company also makes aircraft painting tools, including stencils, mylars and window masks. Mylars give positioning references for stripes and livery graphics, while window masks protect passenger and cockpit windows from overspray.

For rail, the company supplies decorative laminates and flooring. Its surface customisation work covers the outside and inside of aircraft and trains, including branding and cabin finishes. The company also supplies placards and specialised components.

In automotive and general industry, ADHETEC supplies masking solutions, protective films and engineered consumables. Its consumables range includes masking, surface protection and engineered products designed to improve process productivity.

Products can be fully customised. The company says it works by listening first to each customer's needs, then building a product to fit their process. Most custom decorative foils and laminates are available within four weeks from final proof to installation, depending on the project.

ADHETEC has sites in Tarbes and Colomiers in France, Branson in Missouri, Drummondville in Quebec, and Tianjin in China. The site lists airline customers including Cathay Pacific, Emirates, ANA, Turkish Airlines and British Airways. It also describes a sustainability strategy.

The company can arrange samples and product demonstrations for each project. It also provides technical specifications and compliance documents on request. Visitors can reach the team through an enquiry form.
