According to Michael Johansen, global vice president and general
manager, Performance Tapes, the new equipment and plant expansion
reflect the commitment by Avery Dennison to serve the needs of industry
in China.
“Demand is high for industrial tapes and adhesives solutions in China,”
Johansen says. “The electronics, automotive and general industrial
segments are already significant in size and are growing fast. With our
new coater, we can now better serve our customers in China with local
production, which means faster delivery backed by a range of valuable
services. Our Kunshan plant’s integrated service program, for example,
will provide outstanding technical support, fast and reliable customer
service and more flexible delivery options. At the same time, we will
offer customized solutions for those customers that have special needs
and requirements.”
Johansen notes that the plant will manufacture a broad range of high
performance industrial tapes that bond different materials and
substrates in diverse applications.
-
Electronics uses include touch-screen and touch-pad mounting, speaker
mesh, batteries, backlit applications and lenses.
-
Internal automotive uses include foams and gaskets, and noise
reduction applications. Seat heating and airbags are typical comfort
and safety automotive applications.
-
External automotive uses include the bonding of badges and emblems,
and brake shims.
-
Adhesive solutions used in large domestic appliances, elevators,
building and construction, and packaging are examples of general
industrial applications.
The Custom-built Coater
The high-speed, versatile custom-built coater can coat various
coatweights and run solvent or emulsion adhesive tapes with a maximum
width of 1.52m / 60 inch. It incorporates state-of-the-art safety
systems and is part of an overall investment that includes adhesive
storage, adhesive mixing and sophisticated exhaust systems.
The Kunshan plant expansion includes a new lab with test equipment that
will enable Avery Dennison to develop new products and maintain the high
quality and performance of its existing products. It also houses a
manufacturing hall, as well as new offices and labs on the first and
second floors. Avery Dennison expects to hire 30 additional employees to
accommodate the new production and testing capabilities, with that
number increasing as the business grows.
“Our employees are highly skilled and trained in the area of adhesive
coating,” Johansen says. “Avery Dennison has 80 years of experience in
adhesive coating, including 20 years in China. We look forward to
putting our vast knowledge of adhesives and tapes to work for several of
China’s key industrial segments.”
