Avery Dennison has added wide web, high-speed coating capabilities to its plant in Bangi, Malaysia, on the back of strong growth in South East Asia, reports Christel Lee from Print World Asia.
Avery Dennison currently has two manufacturing locations in the ASEAN region, the Bangi plant, opened in 1997, and a plant located in Rayong, Thailand. Both facilities serve customers in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia.
The addition of the 1.5m-wide high-speed coater will enable Avery Dennison to keep pace with the rapid growth it has experienced in the ASEAN region. The technology offers higher coating speeds and filmic capability, providing the company with the capacity to meet increasing demands.
David Martin, vice-president and general manager of Avery Dennison, Materials Group in the ASEAN region, Australia and New Zealand, said: 'Our growth in the region has been robust, and we are excited to deliver such innovative technology in an increasingly competitive region.
'Our customers expect high-quality solutions and a competitive value proposition, which we will continue to deliver through our latest investments in the ASEAN region. We are supporting our customers' growth through industry leading coating technology, capabilities and a team who are excited to deliver on our promise.
'Not only are we increasing our capacity in line with demand, but we are also investing in the capability to offer a broader product offering and make ourselves more competitive.'
