Introduction
Tangent Self Adhesive Ltd was founded in 1980 by Mike Sibley, driven by his passion for the exciting potential of double-sided, pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes. With extensive industry knowledge and experience, Mike set out to service overlooked markets with bespoke, high-performance tape solutions. His entrepreneurial spirit and expertise laid the foundation for a company renowned for its quality, reliability, and dependable service. Over the years, Tangent has grown and established itself as a well respected and renowned adhesive tape converter, while maintaining its core values and commitment to excellence.
Our Values & Growth
From the very beginning, Tangent was built on the principles of integrity and customer focus. Our commitment to building strong relationships and enhancing technical expertise became the cornerstones of our operations. As the company grew, the addition of Mike’s two sons in the late 2000s brought new energy and ideas, blending traditional values with modern innovations. This dynamic combination has positioned Tangent as a respected leader in the UK adhesive tape converting industry, consistently working to meet and exceed customer demands with high-quality, custom adhesive solutions.
