Visit TAKA at Furniture Component Expo to discover how Italian engineering excellence is reshaping sustainable adhesive technology for the furniture industry.
Based in Marostica, Italy, TAKA Srl has established itself as a global leader in hot melt polyurethane reactive (HMPUR) adhesives since 2003. With roots in the chemical sector dating back to the 1950s, the company combines heritage craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation to deliver superior bonding solutions for furniture and interior design applications.
Leading the Green Revolution
At this year’s expo, TAKA showcases its commitment to environmental responsibility through two groundbreaking product lines – bio-based adhesives, and micro-emission technology.
Featuring up to 20% renewable raw materials, TAKA’s bio-based formulations deliver the same exceptional performance as traditional HMPUR systems while significantly reducing environmental impact.
These adhesives maintain superior bond strength, water resistance, and thermal stability – proving that sustainability and performance can coexist. TAKA’s micro-emission adhesives, meanwhile, contain monomeric isocyanate levels below 0.1%, setting new safety standards while ensuring full regulatory compliance.
The TAKA advantage
What sets TAKA apart is its integrated approach to customer success.
- Application laboratory: TAKA’s stateof- the-art facility tests adhesives directly on customer profiles and panels, simulating real-world conditions to validate long-term durability, edge bonding strength, and hydrolysis resistance.
- TAKA-WPR Academy: Recognising that the right adhesive is only part of the equation, TAKA established this certified training hub to transfer technical expertise. From production audits to operator training and advanced workshops, the Academy empowers customers to achieve consistent, high-quality results.
- Vertical integration: With four production plants – including dedicated polyester synthesis – TAKA develops unique, tailormade solutions that go beyond standard offerings.
