ONE-STOP-SHOP FOR AUTOMOTIVE SURFACE PROTECTION

If there is one thing that carmakers, logistics providers, dealers and final customers can all agree on, it’s that a vehicle should arrive in the hands of customers without a scratch on it.

Carmakers all deploy one or a combination of the protective products out there: films, full -or- partial covers or … no protection at all.

ABI Tape has 30+ years of experience in paint protective solutions in automotive and worldwide we are the only provider that develops and sells all of above solutions. And we do so successfully: today we service 15 out of the top 20 OEMs and Tier 1s alike.  

OEM APPROVED

ABI Tape’s list of OEMs served is long and speaks for itself. This proves that we are compliant with the high standards OEMs demand of their supplying partners in terms of performance, traceability, delivery and consistent quality. This make ABI Tape a trustworthy partner to help OEMs and Tier 1s assemble and deliver world-class and defect-free products.

PROTECTIVE TAPES FOR TRANSIT AND STORAGE - FROM TIER 1 TO DEALER

PROTECTIVE TAPES FOR TRANSIT AND STORAGE FROM TIER 1 TO DEALER
On the journey from Tier 1 all the way to the dealerships – each car is handled by various assembly and logistics parties. The sides of the car need to be protected against damage caused by people moving in, out and around the cars.

During transport and storage the horizontal parts of the cars need to be protected against outdoor elements, such as stone impact (transport) and acid rain, hail, train and port rust dust, sand storms, bird soil etc.

One-stop shop for your protective needs

customized autocover and shaperite products
Success story

In 2019 we received an urgent request from an OEM to make customized protection covers for 2 new models ASAP.

                      We took measurements of the cars, developed a 3D model, made prototypes, ran through the complete application process, produced and eventually hand-delivered 1.000 units for each model, all within 1 month.

ABI Tape understands how to get a product approved with efficacy, even for highly customized products like AutoCover or ShapeRite.
 

What protective solution fits your need best

The best solution depends on your specific needs. Maximum protection, speed, recyclability, type of application line, duration, level of customization, climate/season, geo-specific and/or price are just a couple of factors one could consider.
