Avery Dennison upgrades plant with a new coater

A €17 million upgrade at the Avery Dennison plant in Schwelm, Germany, including a new coater, is giving graphics customers across Europe access to more than 7,600 product variations in total. The new coater offers large production flexibility with two coating methods and ten different solvent-based adhesives.

The investment reflected the company’s strong ongoing commitment to the graphics segment, meeting the customer's needs for the widest possible choice of application options. This new resource runs in 7-day operation and broadens Avery Dennison's offering further, ensuring exceptional service.

The new coater was launched at a customer event that showcased the Schwelm plant’s comprehensive production and customer service operation, which includes additional coaters, slitters, cross-sheeters and a packaging line, as well as an automated and semi-automated warehouse.
