At Preston Technical, we are always looking for ways to enhance our knowledge and strengthen our connections in the automotive industry. As an adhesive tape converter supplying innovative solutions to automotive manufacturers, understanding the latest advancements in vehicle production is crucial to our mission.
Last week, Ben and June had the privilege of visiting the Nissan Motor Corporation plant in Sunderland, and it was an experience to remember!
A Deep Dive into Nissan’s Manufacturing Excellence
Walking through the production lines, we witnessed the entire vehicle assembly process—from individual components coming together to form a fully operational car. The scale of the operation was staggering, but what impressed us most was the culture of innovation and teamwork that drives the plant forward.
One standout fact: Nissan Sunderland still has six original employees from when the plant first opened! Their dedication is a testament to the strong sense of pride and collaboration within the facility.
The Role of Adhesive Tape Conversion in Automotive Manufacturing
At Preston Technical, we specialise in providing precision-engineered adhesive tape solutions for automotive applications. From bonding and sealing to noise reduction and surface protection, our products help manufacturers like Nissan improve efficiency, reduce weight, and enhance vehicle performance.

✅ Lightweighting – Reducing overall vehicle weight for improved fuel efficiency.
✅ Enhanced Durability – Providing strong, long-lasting bonds without compromising flexibility.
✅ Streamlined Assembly – Simplifying production processes and reducing labor time.
