Tape Service Coenraets

What Tape Service Coenraets does

Tape Service Coenraets (Tapeservice) is a Belgian specialist in professional technical tapes, protective films, and adhesive solutions, headquartered in Tubize and operating for over 70 years since 1950. The company serves five core verticals — Medical, Aeronautics, Automotive, Industry, and Events — providing both off-the-shelf branded products and custom-converted tape solutions sourced from leading global manufacturers including 3M, Tesa, Nichiban, Avery Dennison, Advance Tapes, Halco Europe, and Solar Screen.

Tapeservice's product portfolio spans single-sided and double-sided tapes, masking tapes, gaffer tape, electrical insulation tape, polyester tapes, polyolefin films, packaging materials, and protective films (solar control, safety, privacy), as well as reclosable fastening systems. The company's core technical capability is precision tape conversion, executed through an advanced machine park that includes a rotary punch press, laser cutting/marking/engraving, slitter, and rotary laser punch press. These technologies enable customer-specific shapes, sizes, and large-scale production runs with high accuracy. Value-added services include R&D support and an audit service that analyzes customer processes to identify adhesive-related risks.

Tapeservice runs a sales-led, consultative go-to-market with no public e-commerce store. Customers initiate contact via the website, phone (+32 2 367 89 00), or email ([email protected]) to arrange free no-obligation consultation appointments with experienced advisors who recommend optimal tape solutions per application. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales and custom conversion services across Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, supported by multilingual (Dutch, English, French) marketing across a content blog and LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram channels. The company announced a merger with ATS on October 30, 2024, signaling inorganic growth intent within the Benelux specialty tape market.
