Avery Dennison Makes EUR 60 Million Investment Avery Dennison Corporation has made two in- vestments aimed at expanding its manufacturing capacity and improving factory efficiency in Eu- rope to meet growing demand for label and pack- aging materials. The company said it is one year into a three-year, EUR 45 million expansion of its facilities at Champ- sur-Drac, France. Enhancements include five new logistical buildings covering more than 8,700 square meters, a new automated warehouse, and an addi- tional hotmelt adhesive coater, scheduled to come online during 2024. At its Luxembourg facility specializing in labels made with acrylic emulsion adhesives, the compa- ny has undertaken an EUR 15 million project to redesign operational flow and add a new emulsion specialty coater. The coater is expected to come on- line during the first quarter of 2023. The company stated that these expansions will take the company closer to fully embracing Indus- try 4.0 practices by increasing efficiency, reducing operating costs, and freeing employees to perform safer, higher-value tasks.
