Sellotape, the leading UK brand (to the point that it's a genericised trademark), is owned and manufactured by German chemical company Henkel, too, making it a solid European buy.

The link doesn't seem to work properly, at least not for me.

Thomann is a German company and, I believe, Europe's largest seller of music equipments (instruments, speakers, etc.). Here's a link to their German site (it's in English): https://www.thomann.de/intl/search_dir.html?sw=gerband

Thank you, I saw Tesa recommended on Reddit, Gerband is so much better for duct tape uses. Tesa just leaves horrible residue everywhere.
