While observing that high quality and consistency of these materials is key to ensure flawless conversion of pressure sensitive products in Avery Dennison’s process, as well as in the further stages of the value chain, Avery Dennison management commented that “This winning supplier demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of our quality requirements while delivering service excellence. They continue to focus on innovation and sustainability, making them a world class supplier.”
