Avery Dennison Performance Tapes has increased its Kunshan, China manufacturing capabilities with the installation of a new custom-built coater and enlarged the plant’s size by 3,500 sq. meters (37,674 sq. ft.). Avery Dennison will begin taking orders for products manufactured on the coater Oct. 1, 2015.
 
“Demand is high for industrial tapes and adhesives solutions in China,” Michael Johansen, global VP and GM, Performance Tapes, said. “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.”
 
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 Kunshan plant expansion includes a new lab with test equipment; 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.
