3M - Innovation, Abrasives, Adhesives, and Tapes

In 1902, five businessmen from Two Harbors, Minnesota (USA) founded the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, better known today as 3M. The company initially focused on abrasives but soon expanded into adhesive tapes and cellophane film. From the very beginning, 3M has stood for innovation, and more than a century later, its extensive range of products has become an essential part of our everyday lives. Whether we're using Post-it notes at the office, Scotch tape for DIY projects, or other 3M products in countless situations, from watching TV, using our mobile phones, cleaning our homes, or even visiting the dentist, 3M helps make life easier.

Today, 3M offers products and services across a wide range of sectors: signage, graphic and optical communications; electronics, electricity, and telecommunications; healthcare; safety, security, and protection; transportation; manufacturing and industry; and solutions for the office, home, and leisure. In Belgium, 3M manufactures a broad array of products for the European market in Zwijndrecht, while its sales office is located in Diegem.
