 "Avery Dennison's Kunshan (China) manufacturing plant")
Avery Dennison Performance Tapes has increased its Kunshan (China) manufacturing plant capabilities with the installation of a new custom-built coater to meet the growing demand for pressure-sensitive tapes. According to Michael Johansen, global vice president and general manager, Performance Tapes, the new equipment and plant expansion reflect the commitment by Avery Dennison to serve the needs of industry in China.
“Demand is high for industrial tapes and adhesives solutions in China. The electronics, automotive and general industrial segments are already significant in size and are growing fast. With our new coater, we can now better serve our customers in China with local production, which means faster delivery backed by a range of valuable services. Our Kunshan plant’s integrated service program, for example, will provide outstanding technical support, fast and reliable customer service and more flexible delivery options. At the same time, we will offer customised solutions for those customers that have special needs and requirements,” said Johansen.
Johansen noted that the plant will manufacture a broad range of high performance industrial tapes that bond different materials and substrates in diverse applications.
The Kunshan plant expansion includes a new lab with test equipment that will enable Avery Dennison to develop new products and maintain the high quality and performance of its existing products. It also houses a manufacturing hall, as well as new offices and labs on the first and second floors.
