Avery Dennison Fortifies its Presence in India
Avery Dennison, a global leader in materials science and manufacturing, will begin operations in Greater Noida at its new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. The company will consolidate its manufacturing operations through this new facility in order to better serve customer demands while optimizing new technology and leveraging improved efficiencies.
The facility and employees based out of the Gurgaon plant will undergo a phased transition over time, according to business needs. The company's headquarters, on the other hand, remain in Gurgaon. The new state-of-the-art plant will cover 12 acres and produce technologically advanced, pressure-sensitive materials for the labeling and packaging industries, incorporating best practices from across Avery Dennison.
The new facility, which has been given land by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA), will be equipped with the latest high-speed coating technology, including state-of-the-art coating and lamination lines, as well as high-speed sliters and sheeters.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Saurabh Agarwal, senior director and general manager, Label and Packaging Materials, South Asia for Avery Dennison said, “U.P. has emerged as a strategic business location, offering better connectivity and opportunities to serve key customers and markets.
The new facility not only enhances our production capacity, but it further strengthens our company’s position in the industry. This move is the culmination of the customer’s increased demand as well as the potential India holds as a region. I’m extremely pleased that this achievement has taken place in the same year Avery Dennison is celebrating 25 years of doing business in India.”
Speaking on this move, Mr. Mahesh Pathak, senior director, Operations, Label and Graphic Materials, South Asia Pacific and Sub Saharan Africa for Avery Dennison said, “This expansion is part of our long-term commitment to the Indian market, and our deep belief that it will offer enormous opportunities for the company and its ecosystem partners.
The addition of this new greenfield facility in the North further strengthens our presence in the Indian market as well as in the Asia Pacific region.” Mr. Pathak further added, “The new plant is equipped with next-generation technology in line with industry 4.0 and has one of the latest and fastest coating and laminating machines in this space globally. Additionally, this facility was designed and constructed as per Green building standards and we have also installed solar power for green energy.”
With this key business milestone, Avery Dennison celebrates 25 years of business operations in India. Having a presence in India for over two decades, the company has consistently led the way in transforming the Indian label industry. Avery Dennison has always had a keen focus on strengthening the industry by providing reliable products and driving innovation across its ecosystem through active collaboration with its partners.
The company started its first plant operation in Gurgaon in 1997 with a hot melt coating line. Since then, it has expanded its operations across India in major cities like Pune, Bangalore, and Kolkata.
