Avery Dennison opens Knowledge Center in India

Avery Dennison has opened its first label printing Knowledge Center in South Asia. Located at the company’s premises in Bangalore, India, the new facility was inaugurated in a ceremony held on 18 August 2012.

With a number of partners – including Gallus, Esko, DuPont, Flint, Alpha Sonic, Rotometrics, Tarng Yun and Zecher – the center will create a ‘real time’ experience of what goes into the making of a label. The entire labeling process will be demonstrated beginning with pre-press, printing and converting, through to label application. It will also showcase the latest trends and innovations in the pressure-sensitive label industry, as well as holding training and knowledge-sharing sessions.

Anil Sharma, managing director, Avery Dennison materials group South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, said, ‘Avery Dennison is committed to supporting the ongoing development of the South Asia labeling industry. This new Bangalore Knowledge Center will ensure that industry stakeholders in the region have all the information they need to extract the full benefit from pressure-sensitive materials and realize the great opportunities for growth in our developing economy.’

Sharma added, ‘With the launch of the Knowledge Center, Avery Dennison has again affirmed its commitment to the India packaging industry. This unique facility will enable the adoption of pressure-sensitive labeling in India to occur faster, taking packaging to a whole new growth phase. Avery Dennison has provided a platform for stakeholders from the packaging and marketing domain to better understand the benefits of pressure-sensitive labeling.’

This is company's second such site, the first being in China.
