What MBK Tape Solutions does

MBK Tape Solutions is a California-based medical-grade precision converter specializing in the fabrication of custom adhesive tape and converted components for healthcare applications. Founded in 1971 and headquartered in Chatsworth, the company operates Class 100 to Class 100K clean room manufacturing environments and employs advanced rotary die cutting and steel rule die cutting to produce complex multi-layer assemblies from medical-grade adhesive materials. Its product portfolio centers on stick-to-skin solutions for medical wearables, biosensors, transdermal drug delivery patches, advanced wound care materials, and medical disposables, with additional offerings in FDA-compliant food, beverage, and pharmaceutical material solutions and personal care adhesives.

The company serves medical device manufacturers and healthcare OEMs on a B2B basis, with pricing negotiated on a per-project, quote-based model rather than published list pricing. On December 15, 2021, MBK Tape Solutions was acquired by Boyd Corporation and now operates as a subsidiary within Boyd's Engineered Materials division, specifically under the Bonding & Adhesive Systems and Health & Safety categories. The acquisition extended Boyd's material science capabilities into the stick-to-skin application space and provided MBK with access to a global enterprise sales and distribution network. No standalone revenue figures, headcount data, or independent financial disclosures are available for MBK specifically, and the business is reported as part of Boyd's consolidated operations.
