Smokers want taste, but only the taste of tobacco. Yet there are adhesives in cigarettes as well. It is easy to understand that they have to be absolutely devoid of taste, while meeting stringent tobacco and food regulations.
The adhesive specialist Laesser, a company with a fine reputation in the tobacco industry, joined the Henkel Group in 1995. With the introduction of Clean Production concept 1998, the Laesser site in Erlinsbach, Switzerland has evolved into the world’s most advanced production facility for cigarette adhesives. Our Tobacco® range of adhesives in this segment is manufactured according to the stringent hygiene standards followed in the pharmaceutical and food industry. Laesser’s prominent position within the Henkel Group is underlined by its appointment as the Tobacco Adhesive Competence Center. It is from here that the worldwide development, production and sale of cigarette adhesives is planned and coordinated.
