“The combination of Shurtape and Syntac enhances our ability to support our customers through expanded research and development capacity, broadened production capabilities and global distribution,” said Stephen Shuford, CEO for Shurtape Technologies LLC. “We are excited about the future and look forward to the growth that this merger makes possible for ourselves and for our valued customers.”

The company’s products will include tapes for use with cloth and duct, masking and paper, packaging, foil, film, double-coated and transfer tapes, and packaging dispensers and equipment for sealing applications.

Syntac will become Shurtape Specialty Coating LLC and will use its existing 60,000-square-foot facility in New Hartford, Connecticut, and new 23,000-square-foot facility in Sarasota, Florida.

Curt Rutsky, Syntac’s CEO, said his company fits well with Shurtape.

“Together, we remain dedicated to delivering unmatched innovation, service and quality to the industries we serve and look forward to providing our customers with a broad range of product options and enhanced service capabilities to meet their ever-evolving needs,” Rutsky said.
