Valco Melton is pleased to announce its participation at PSTC Tape Week 2026 in Louisville, Kentucky. Visit us at booth 202, where we will showcase innovative solutions for adhesive coating, laminating, and quality inspection in the tape and converting
industries.
Founded in 1952 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, Valco Melton is a global
leader in adhesive application and quality inspection systems for the tapes, labels, graphics, and other converting industries. With manufacturing and support facilities across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, the company serves customers through more than 90 locations worldwide.
Valco Melton will highlight its LP Series coating lines, engineered to deliver precise, high-performance adhesive application for tape manufacturing processes. Designed with flexible configurations and advanced automation, LP Series lines provide accurate web
handling, controlled coating application, and efficient laminating capabilities to meet demanding production requirements.
In addition, attendees will experience Valco Melton’s powerful Inspekt quality assurance systems, including Weight Inspekt and Coat Inspekt, which bring real-time process control and defect detection to coating operations. Weight Inspekt uses infrared technology to measure adhesive coat weight inline, eliminating the need for production stops while enabling closed-loop control of grammage for consistent application.
Complementing this, Coat Inspekt utilizes advanced vision inspection with AI to detect
coating defects such as streaks, voids, or excess adhesive in real time. The system categorizes defects, generates detailed roll maps, and stores production data to support traceability and continuous process improvement.
Together, these integrated solutions help manufacturers reduce waste, improve product
quality, and gain full visibility into their production processes.
Visit Valco Melton at booth 202 during PSTC Tape Week 2026 to see our solutions and speak with our team about improving your production efficiency and quality. We look forward to meeting you in Louisville.
