          Creativity, ingenuity and perseverance have made Empire the
        
        
          first choice for adhesive tapes since the companies inception

          foundation of a proud past, a bright future and for many new
        
        
          tape innovations to come. The company has always believed
        
        
          that if we give our customers the very best tapes, of the very
        
        
          highest quality and with the highest level of service, that would
        
        
          be the best advert for the company.

          Empire’s constant product innovation is the mantra for our success. We believe that It takes flexibility,
        
        
          creativity and sometimes a willingness to take a risk, to ensure that we maintain our success and

          customer care that has put Empire at the very cutting edge of today’s
        
        
          adhesive tape market. Much of Empire’s rich culture comes from the
        
        
          principles first set down by the founders and owners of the business; Dean
        
        
          Sherriff and Mark Stanley. They believe “Create your own style,
        
        
          let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others”.
        
        
          Over the years, more than anything, they have ensured
        
        
          that building a happy, knowledgeable and passionate
        
        
          winning team gains the best results. They believe
        
        
          that this camaraderie, closeness and strength filters
        
        
          through to their clients which in turn
        
        
          breeds loyalty, long term friendships
        
        
          and sets Empire apart from its
        
        
          competitors. Ultimately the
        
        
          company has always lived by the
        
        
          rule “Success is not the key to
        
        
          happiness. Happiness is the key
        
        
          to success. If you love what you
        
        
          are doing, you will be successful”.
        
        
          
            ‟
          
        
        
          Empire’s constant
        
        
          product innovation is the
        
        
          mantra for our success
