History
The company was founded in Frankfurt am Main by Julius Lüscher in 1851. The line of business was the import and sale of chemicals for use in dyeworks and for the production of medicines. 1870 August Lohmann took over the management of this company. Later the company looked for a new location, which was then found in Neuwied/Germany. 1938 Lohmann started the production of double-sided adhesive tapes. Today the Lohmann Tape Group is still headquartered in Neuwied, Germany.

In 1998, the Lohmann corporate areas Non-wovens and Medical became independent legal entities. The latter was incorporated into a joint enterprise with the Austrian company Rauscher. Today, Lohmann & Rauscher is an important provider of medical products. Lohmann is nowadays a manufacturer of single-sided and double-sidedadhesive tape systems and adhesive solutions for industry. Today the Lohmann Tape Group has 1600 employees worldwide, coating plants at six sites in Europe, Asia and America, 17 subsidiaries and sales partners in over 50 countries. The company is currently headed by Norman Goldberg and Jürgen Walda.
