About ASLAN
ASLAN Selbstklebefolien GmbH develops and produces self-adhesive specialty films for graphic applications (signage and digital printing), painting and lacquering, sandblasting work, architecture and interior design, office and organisation, book protection and repair, lampshade manufacturing, hobby and craft supplies, and industrial projects. The portfolio comprises digital printing, glass décor, metal effect, protection, whiteboard, blackboard and magnetic-receptive films as well as mounting films, tapes and application accessories. In addition to standard products, the company offers custom adhesive coatings (contract coating) from 500 linear metres; customer-owned materials can be coated with specified adhesive properties. The products are supplied as roll goods, cut-to-size sheets or die-cut parts. In-house adhesive formulations, predominantly water-based and solvent-free, are developed in the company's own development laboratory. The company produces at its Overath-Untereschbach site with the quality standard of “Made in Germany” and distributes its niche products worldwide. Since July 2024, ASLAN has been part of the globally operating Fedrigoni Group.
