Avery Dennison Corporation

Avery Dennison Corporation is a global materials science and manufacturing company specializing in labeling and packaging materials, functional adhesives, and RFID solutions. Headquartered in Mentor, Ohio, the company operates through two main segments: Label and Graphic Materials (LGM) and Retail Branding and Information Solutions (RBIS). LGM produces pressure-sensitive label materials, films, and tapes used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and industrial packaging. RBIS provides brand identification tags, labels, and RFID inlays for apparel, footwear, and retail inventory management. The company also offers specialty tapes, medical adhesives, and automotive components.

Revenue is generated primarily from the sale of label materials, graphic films, and RFID tags. The LGM segment accounts for roughly 70% of total sales, serving converters who print and apply labels. RBIS contributes about 25%, with the remainder from emerging businesses like medical and automotive. The company's business model relies on innovation in adhesive chemistry and RFID technology, along with efficient global manufacturing. Revenue is diversified across consumer goods, retail, and industrial end markets, with recurring demand from packaging and inventory management.
