Duck Pro Tape was founded in 1980 in Cleveland, Ohio with a single mission: manufacture the strongest, most reliable adhesive tape in America.
What started in a 15,000 sq ft facility with 12 employees has grown into a 250,000 sq ft state-of-the-art manufacturing campus employing 250 skilled workers. But our core values haven't changed - quality, innovation, and American craftsmanship.
Today, we produce over 10 million rolls of duck tape monthly, serving 50,000+ businesses across 65 countries. From e-commerce warehouses to construction sites, HVAC contractors to automotive assembly lines - our adhesive solutions are the silent partners in operations that demand reliability.
Every roll. Every day. Made in USA.
