Our culture
Since 1981 in Sarasota, Florida, Intertape Polymer Group has grown into a North American adhesives partner that still treats every substrate question like a teaching moment.
Help construction and industrial teams specify adhesive tapes that survive real temperature swings, inspector scrutiny, and packaging line speeds—without forcing a second trip to the distributor.
We measure success when peel adhesion windows, VOC emissions sheets, and carton formats arrive together, so purchasing and field supervisors stop arguing over incomplete packets.
Become the advisor brands call when a bid addendum changes fire resistance rating language overnight and someone still needs rolls on the floor by Monday.
That means expanding capacity across our 14 manufacturing plants while keeping application engineers close enough to jobsites that feedback loops stay measured in days, not quarters. Founded in 1981 and still headquartered in Sarasota, we favor domestic slit-to-width responsiveness when lead time risk outweighs a lower imported carton price—without pretending every specialty laminate can be sourced only inside the United States.
How we work
New specialists shadow adhesion tests before they quote custom widths. Customers hear trade-offs in plain language—cloth versus foil, liner release, UV stability—not jargon stacks.
We publish temperature windows and dimensional stability notes with every shortlist. If a claim cannot be tied to a lab cycle, it does not leave the building.
Jobsite time is expensive. We design cartons, cores, and hand-tear edges so apprentices can work cleanly on scaffolds and in mechanical rooms.
When a SKU is back-ordered, customers hear the recovery date the same day—not after the drywall tape window closes.
Inside IPG
Across plants and customer labs, teams pair polymer chemists with former mechanical contractors so adhesion advice stays grounded in how tape actually behaves on galvanized duct and painted steel.
Whether you come from chemistry, logistics, or the trades, IPG looks for people who enjoy translating adhesion science into clear next steps for contractors. Explore open roles or send a note if you want to join the application desk.
