A New Chapter at Tecman
Transforming How We Deliver for Our Customers
We are excited to embark on a new chapter with a company structure designed to drive even greater value for you. As we reflect on our journey approaching Tecman’s 30th-year milestone—from our early days as a small adhesive tape converter to our current position as an industry leader in advanced material solutions—we recognise the importance of enhancing our operations.
While we evolve as the business grows, our commitment to you remains unchanged; we are still the same trusted Tecman you have come to know.
Our recent improvement initiatives—enhancements to IT infrastructure, streamlined processes, and refined roles and responsibilities—have already begun delivering tangible results. These changes have improved on-time, in-full delivery (OTIF) and ensured consistent product quality across the board. Building on this success, we are entering a new phase to further transform how we deliver excellence to our valued customers.
