Avery Dennison has expanded the coating and laminated capabilities for self-adhesive label and packaging films at its plant in Gotha, Germany. Avery Dennison has expanded the coating and laminated capabilities for self-adhesive label and packaging films at its plant in Gotha, Germany. The expansion represents an investment of €7m.
A response to growing market demand for filmic products with ultra-high levels of clarity and cleanliness, the expansion includes a tandem silicone/adhesive laminating line, an additional slitting area and a new shipping hall. This increases topcoating capacity by 50 million m2 and adds 33% to the operational space of the plant.
The tandem coater is housed in a closed-off and separated area, under positive air pressure. This dust-free coating area ensures minimal contamination, improving product surface quality and cleanliness for enhanced printability. The coater also offers increased production flexibility.
The finishing space is now larger and separated from coating and laminating to enable more efficient material flow handling.
