Shurtape Technologies, LLC, Launches New Website: Tapeuniversity.Com -Site Delivers Helpful Tips and Suggestions for Choosing and Using Tape FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Agency Contact: Michelle Rash • 336.553.1733 • [email protected] Shurtape Technologies, LLC, Launches New Website: TapeUniversity.com -Site delivers helpful tips and suggestions for choosing and using tape- HICKORY, N.C. (July 2016) – Shurtape Technologies, LLC, a leading producer of pressure-sensitive tapes, is making it even easier for students, educators, tape distributors and more to access helpful information about choosing and using pressure-sensitive tapes with the launch of its new website: TapeUniversity.com. Today, the site is focused on the HVAC and Packaging industries, but additional industries will be added over the next few months. Visitors will find blog posts, videos and articles by Shurtape’s product management team, covering topics such as the differences between HVAC tape backings and adhesives, why some packaging tapes won’t stick to recycled cartons, and how tape can cause downtime on the packaging line. The site also serves as the online home of Shurtape’s Mission: HVAC and Mission: Packaging programs. Through these programs, the company is challenging six students (three HVAC, three packaging) to complete a series of themed missions related to their areas of study. Upon completion of each challenge, the students report their findings via blog posts on the site to earn up to $5,000 each to help prepare them for their future endeavors. “In 2015, we took a stand to support education with the introduction of our Mission: HVAC program, through which we followed three HVAC students as they completed a year of trade school. During our conversations with students and educators about this program, and more recently about the Mission: Packaging program, it became clear that easy-to-access, reliable information about tape was lacking,” said Laura Pierce, senior media manager. “So, we decided to hit the issue head-on and created TapeUniversity.com to serve as an educational resource to answer the commonly asked questions about tape – as well as invite visitors to ask their own.” Got a question about tape?

  • North Carolina Power
    NORTH CAROLINA electing North Carolina’s most influential business leaders could be as complex as counting sand crystals at the beach, but it’s a lot more fun. No one expects the list to be “right,” because influence is subjective and the state business community is packed with so many powerful people. But this best effort stems from gathering ideas from dozens of businesspeople across the state and rely- ing on our staff’s collective knowledge based on many years working in North Carolina. Our goal is to cite influential folks who are making a significant impact in their Senterprises, industries and, in many cases, the broader community. We omitted political lead- ers and those who spend very little time here. We also sought individuals who often operate behind the scenes and avoid publicity. Gathering information about these leaders gives us a renewed respect for the dynamism of North Carolina’s economy. The state benefits from rapid growth in its largest metro areas, abundant natural resources and an unmistakable pro-business attitude. The list includes a mix of people who are second-, third- and even fourth-generation family-business leaders (Frank Harrison III, David Congdon) and newcomers who’ve built cutting-edge operations from scratch (Michael Praeger, Doug Lebda). Reflecting our mission as a statewide business publication, we looked for leaders making important strides outside the three large metropolitan areas. While we found impactful lead- ers in smaller regions, power is increasingly concentrated in bigger cities as banking, retailing, utilities and other industries consolidate. We look forward to hearing your thoughts.

  • Testimony of Stephen Shuford Ceo of Shurtape Technologies, Llc Before the U.S
    TESTIMONY OF STEPHEN SHUFORD CEO OF SHURTAPE TECHNOLOGIES, LLC BEFORE THE U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION ON PRESSURE SENSITIVE TAPE FROM ITALY FEBRUARY 2,2016 Good morning. My name is Stephen Shuford. I. am the CEO of Shurtape Technologies and have been since 2010. I received my bachelor's degree from Princeton University and. then received an M.B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Our business is a family-owned business and I am the fifth generation of my family to run the business, which was founded in 1880 as a single yam-spinning mill in western North Carolina. Over the years, the business expanded to include various types of yarn, twine, woven textiles, furniture and eventually tape, which was started in the 1950s. In 1995, our larger family received an offer from Tyco International to buy the tape assets of our diversified business.- At that time, my immediate family decided to match Tyco's offer and maintain control of the company in our family and in North Carolina. We bought out the interests of our extended family, and as part of the deal we also took the textile assets, which had been in decline for many years. Over time we exited the textile business by closing, spinning off and selling those factories while at the same time expanding our tape production capacity, including the construction of our hot melt packaging tape facility in 1998. We now are predominantly a tape business and employ over 1,100 people in the U.S. WDC-43998-1 I mention this history because it is not simply a part of the story of my family, but it is also a part of the story of western North Carolina where I am from.
