Avery Dennison has invested some €17m to upgrade its plant in Schwelm, Germany with a new coater unit. This allows for two coating methods and ten different solvent-based adhesives, giving Avery Dennison roughly 7,600 product variations in total.
Shaun Hobson, senior business director, Graphic Solutions, at Avery Dennison Materials Group Europe, said that the investment reflected the company’s strong ongoing commitment to the graphics segment: “Our customers want the widest possible choice of application options. This very powerful new resource runs in 7-day operation and broadens our offering further, ensuring exceptional service. The Schwelm investment is one more example of how we are continuing to drive forward graphics innovation and service improvements.”
As well as the new coater, Avery Dennison also invested in additional coaters, slitters, cross-sheeters and a packaging line, as well as an automated and semi-automated warehouse.
