Having begun its journey providing adhesives and products for the leather and footwear industry, PANIKER has managed to develop a wide portfolio of products with different technologies, including a high performance and complete range of adhesives for the Converting industry. Located in Barcelona, Paniker’s manufacturing facilities are spread over a surface area of 12,000 m2 and include 27 production lines, with a production capacity of 44,000 tons/year. It currently has a workforce of 45 employees, of which 7 belong to the technical department. Since 2000, it has been part of the prestigious Beardow Adams Group, a multinational company specialising in hot melt adhesives with production plants in the UK, Germany, the US and Sweden. With a specific plant for the manufacture of the tissue range of adhesives, currently, PANIKER is able to produce 15,000 tons/year only for this market. These adhesives are intended to cover the manufacture of the entire tissue final product: from the fabrication of the tube winding, passing through the lamination of the layers of the paper, to the pick-up and tail sealing of the roll. This range of adhesives are clean, versatile and above all: market proven.

The tissue market and changes in consumer behavior
In this centenary, there have been many significant changes in consumers: from basic and functional product ranges to boutique products, with à la carte colors and textures. Moreover, the significant increase in tourism in all corners of the world generated an expansion in the consumption of products that meet the needs of increasingly enthusiastic travellers. As the tissue market and its technologies have been evolving, PANIKER, as manufacturers of adhesives, have noticed these changes and have accompanied our clients in their needs, providing R&D services together with tailormade products.
How the pandemic changed the tissue market
In the first months during which the pandemic emerged, there was a large growth in the consumption of tissue items, in part due to the change in consumption habits caused by the lockdown. Being part of a necessary and high priority sector, PANIKER knew how to adapt to the health measures, so we could continue serving our customers in those markets considered essential. At the same time, all the markets linked to tourism and the hotel industry paralyzed their activities, causing a drop in the consumption of articles linked to this sector. As the situation seems to be improving, we can only expect that the markets severely affected by the pandemic, recover their usual volume of consumption.
Circular economy and the new goals for the tissue adhesives
It is increasingly important to keep the focus on caring for the environment. In this sense, all actions, even the smallest, have an impact. At PANIKER, we are working closely with our suppliers on the formulation of adhesives within the framework of the circular economy. Many of our new projects involve research and developments both in water-based and holt melts intended for the wrapping of the toilet and kitchen rolls with paper, instead of plastic film.
Despite being a change already to be fully implemented within the industrial frame, we must be anticipating the future needs of the market. Also, by taking other steps, PANIKER is committed to reduce the carbon footprint and unnecessary transport of the used IBC/GRG. Our own new cleaning facilities allows us to recover and reuse the provided IBC, within the local territory.
100 years have passed and looking for the future
With a century of experience in the market, PANIKER has now become a reference in the manufacture of liquid adhesives both Spain and in the rest of the world. Paniker’ facilities in Barcelona – Spain currently produces water-based, solvent-based and polyurethane adhesives. Behind each adhesive, there is significant technological knowledge: for each new development or application, substrates to be bonded must be known in depth, as well as the equipment that use the adhesives.
Moreover, industrial production nowadays has not only to be fast and efficient but environmentally friendly. As a result of this long journey, our customers value quick and personalised technical service above everything.
This know-how allows Paniker to provide quality adhesives along with an excellent lead time.
