Atlas Tapes

What Atlas Tapes does

Atlas Tapes S.A. is a vertically integrated Greek manufacturer of self-adhesive tapes, founded in Athens in 1953 by Christopher Lantzis and his son Takis. The company designs and produces a comprehensive packaging tape portfolio spanning BOPP, PVC, PET, and FSC-certified paper backings, with adhesive technologies including acrylic, synthetic rubber hot-melt, natural rubber solvent, and water-based acrylic systems, alongside a masking tape range for professional painting and automotive refinishing applications. Manufacturing is concentrated at a 55,000+ m² facility in Atalanti, Greece, where paper impregnation, film coating, and fully automated slitting and converting are managed in-house; the site is powered by four biomass incinerator burners producing 32 million calories per hour, supplemented by solar panels installed in 2025. Quality and sustainability credentials include ISO, FSC, and INGEDE certifications.

The company operates a B2B go-to-market, exporting more than 90% of production to customers in over 70 countries through direct sales and a distributor/reseller network. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue mechanics driven by volume sales across packaging, painting/construction, automotive refinishing, and cello tape product lines under the Eco Line sub-brand for sustainable PET and paper offerings. Atlas Tapes is the founding entity and core pillar of Atlas Tapes Group, alongside PPM Industries, Swiss Quality Paper, and Trustin Tape, which collectively extend manufacturing reach and geographic coverage across Europe, the UK, the US, and India. The company is privately held, with no public ticker, no disclosed funding rounds, and no M&A activity referenced in the available data.
