What We Offer
Increasing productivity and decreasing costs are two tasks that purchasers and automotive engineers are tasked with daily, but one easy way to accomplish both these goals is by utilizing pressure sensitive adhesive tapes to replace traditional mechanical fasteners. Using customized adhesive products to speed up application time while eliminating as much potential for rework as possible can quickly increase the efficiency and quality of your production line. Whether it’s decreasing machine stoppage by utilizing extremely long length spooled product or implementing die cut masking products that improve paint quality while reducing masking/de-masking time, Budnick can help source and manufacture products that help you improve your manufacturing process.
First and second tier Automotive suppliers utilize Budnick’s converting capabilities to provide solutions for applications including body and fascia masking, emblem and decal applications, mirror attachment, surface protection, fastening, electronic component mounting, buzz, squeak, and rattle elimination, and thermal management.
