Lohmann is more than an adhesive company: it’s a systems partner
Lohmann is a quietly formidable company with over 170 years of history. Its strength lies not only in its technical competence, but in its service ethos and its ability to move fast and precisely. Lohmann doesn’t just sell adhesive tapes, it delivers solutions through full bonding, sealing, insulating and its conversion capability that meet the very exacting demands of the fenestration sector.
Supporting the fenestration market places specific and growing demands on materials. The market expects, without compromise, high quality materials offering sealing, weatherproofing, thermal performance, durability, appearance, ease of assembly and regulatory compliance (thermal, fire, durability, UV). Lohmann is well positioned to serve this sector thanks to the designed features of its product range, its conversion capabilities and its service model.
This global company offers a broad portfolio of bonding solutions that are highly relevant to fenestration: Flexible and durable foams and foam-based tapes used for weather sealing, sound insulation, and structural gaps. Pressure sensitive adhesives, both single-and double-sided, with different carrier materials (films, foams, scrims), are offered based on the requirements of the bond (glass-to-frame; frame-to-mullion; glass to decorative cladding; sealants to metal).
Lohmann recognises the regulations around building, energy performance, environmental impact, recyclability, and materials (for example, REACH / RoHS). The company promotes product lines that are solvent-free with bio-based recyclable liner systems. These support fenestration manufacturers to meet construction codes, environmental regulations, and sustainability goals.
Offering products with functional enhancements such as adhesives with UV stability, flame retardancy, resistance to plasticisers and high/low temperature performance, which must meet rigorous building code or energy regulations, allows Lohmann to support their customers with the critical and ever-evolving needs of this market.
With building regulations pushing up required levels of thermal performance and sustainability, and customer demand for unique designs, Lohmann’s broad product range, conversion and testing capabilities, make the company a solid choice for window and door manufacturers and fitters.
Beyond the physical products, a big part of Lohmann’s value to fenestration customers is the service. Application engineers offer support with choosing the right adhesive/bonding system; modelling performance under weather, UV, and temperature; advising how adhesives will react over time, under expansion/contraction from heat or cold.
In a world where buildings are under scrutiny for performance, environmental impact and long life, partners who understand both the small detail (a seal, a bead, an adhesive joint) and the big picture (thermal bridging, air tightness, building lifetime) are essential. Lohmann is precisely that kind of partner.
At the heart of the company’s success are the people. Lohmann has built a culture of innovation, technical mastery, and collaboration. Its leadership and engineering teams are committed to pushing the envelope, from R&D through to quality assurance, coatings, and converting. In terms of service, Lohmann continues to stand out by offering an end-to-end supply chain, promoted, managed and delivered by a global workforce committed to offering relevant solutions and exceptional service levels.
Lohmann is more than an adhesive company: it’s a systems partner. Its history, culture, and technical strength provide a backbone of service and innovation that few in its market can match. For the windows and doors sector, Lohmann offers not just high-quality materials (tapes, foams, adhesives, laminates) but the conversion flexibility, engineering support, testing capability, sustainability roadmap and regional presence that help manufacturers build better windows, doors and façades — more energy efficient, weather-resistant, durable and compliant.
With a site in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, the team at Lohmann Technologies offer product advice and conversion capability, with a level of flexibility to support the ever-increasing demands of this market.
