From Local Success to Global Impact: How TOPCORE Expanded Across Borders
While many industrial companies focus on their domestic or European markets, TOPCORE has always aimed higher. Our eco-friendly adhesives, smart manufacturing solutions, and commitment to innovation found a strong foothold across the EU—and 2024 marked the beginning of a new phase: global expansion.
The Hidden Cost of Oil-Based Adhesives in 2026: What Paper Tube Manufacturers Need to Know
In January 2026, Brent crude oil traded at roughly $67 per barrel. By the end of March, it had surged past $112 — a 67% increase in under 90 days, driven by escalating conflict in the Middle East and disrupted shipping routes.
Oil Crisis, PVA Shortages, and Why Dextrin Adhesives Are Your Best Backup Plan
The Middle East conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran has triggered the largest disruption to global oil markets in decades. With Brent crude surging past $100 per barrel
TOPCORE at Chemistry Day 2026: Where Paper Industry Innovation Meets Academic Research
The Faculty of Chemistry at the Brno University of Technology (FCH VUT) recently hosted another successful edition of its traditional event, “Open Day and Chemistry Day 2026,” this year under the inspiring theme “Chemistry that Connects.”
Why Technical Service for Adhesives Matters More Than Price Per Ton?
In the paper industry, there is a dangerous myth: that adhesive is a mere commodity to be purchased at the lowest price and poured into the machine. Many manufacturers rely on “universal” products that perform excellently under laboratory conditions. However, as soon as real-world production variables shift—such as changes in paper quality, fluctuating humidity in the facility, or increased line speeds—these solutions often fail.
Strength in Structure: How TOPCORE Entered the Paper Honeycomb Market
In 2024, TOPCORE opened a new chapter. After years of developing dextrin adhesives for tubes, edges, and packaging applications, we faced a fresh challenge: entering the paper honeycomb market—a sector known for its technical complexity, but also for its promise as the future of sustainable packaging.
Beyond Adhesives: How TOPCORE Is Innovating Industrial Machinery for Maximum Efficiency
When people think of TOPCORE, they often think of high-performance dextrin adhesives. But the truth is – we started with machines. Adhesives came second. From day one, we knew we could deliver more than components – we could provide complete, efficient production solutions
Blend vs. Additives – A Comprehensive Overview of BLENDECO Products
In regular meetings with our potential customers, we consistently encounter one question: What is the actual difference between BLENDECO blend and BLENDECO additive products? Both products are powder-based, both relate to dextrin, and both are used in the production of paper tubes. Yet, they address completely different needs. The wrong choice can mean unnecessary costs, untapped production potential, or slower processes.
BLENDECO: The Evolution of Susstainable Adhesives That’s Changing the Game
In 2023, TOPCORE reached one of its most significant milestones in ecological innovation. After years of research, testing, and iteration, we launched BLENDECO — a unique adhesive solution that brings together sustainability, performance, and cost-effectiveness for industrial applications.
TOPCORE at Fachpack 2025: Shaping the Future of Sustainable Adhesives Together
Fachpack 2025 in Nuremberg is one of Europe’s key events for the packaging industry—and we’re proud to have been part of it again this year. Over three dynamic days, we immersed ourselves in an inspiring atmosphere full of innovation, opportunity, and meaningful discussions about the industry’s future.
