Avery Dennison is increasing its commitment to grow the Indian packaging industry by again expanding capacity and production of pressure-sensitive (PS) materials for labelling and packaging at its state-of-the-art plant in Pune.
This is the third time the company has expanded capacity at Pune since the facility opened in 2008. Avery Dennison has experienced double-digit annual growth in India since entering the country in 1997, and Indian retail sales are projected to grow by more than 50% over the next five years, according to research firm Business Monitor International.
Expansion of the 28-acre site Pune plant will include the addition of the widest and fastest adhesives coating line in India as well as new PS roll materials handling and finishing equipment.
Pune is one of three major Avery Dennison manufacturing facilities in India. The company also maintains a network of sales and distribution centres in the country. It has about 3,000 employees throughout South Asia.
Including the Pune expansion, Avery Dennison has invested more than US$50 million in India.
