1937
West London, 1937. Sellotape®, the stickiest and thickest tape in the market, was invented by Colin Kininmonth and George Gray.
Widely adopted and used during World War II to seal ammunition boxes and help protect windowpanes to minimise bomb damage, the following decades saw heavy investment in the production of Sellotape® and diversification of its product range.
After being re-launched in 2010 by Henkel, Sellotape® continues to be the nation’s favourite tape brand.
