In 1996, Shuford Mills decided to split off its tape division into a separate company, Shurtape Technologies, LLC.

This deal included the Duck Tape, Painter's Mate, and Easy Liner brands along with a manufacturing plant in Avon, Ohio.

Shurtape acquired Syntac Coated Products, LLC in 2017[14] and also invested in and partnered with InRoad, a toy company that produces adhesive road-styled tape for children.

[15] In December 2018, Shurtape announced plans to build a new distribution and manufacturing center in Catawba.

[8] The company remains a major economic player in the Hickory metro area, which has lost a fifth of its manufacturing jobs since 2007,[9][unreliable source?]

[17] Shurtape Technologies, LLC's corporate and industrial headquarters is located in Hickory, North Carolina.

ShurTech Brands and Shurtape Speciality Coating are headquartered in Avon, Ohio and New Hartford, Connecticut.

[7][14] Shurtape Speciality Coating produces speciality, custom-made adhesive tapes for industries like construction and electronics[18] and Shurmed produces pressure-sensitive adhesive products for the healthcare and medical device industries.

[25][26] Duck Tape is marketed at a broad audience ranging from causal crafters to DIYers.

[36] Since 2001, Duck Tape annually runs the Stuck at Prom Scholarship Contest.

Three participants from trade schools across the United States are chosen and assigned 10 HVAC-theme missions.
