About
Avery Dennison Corporation is a Glendale, California-based materials science and manufacturing company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AVY) as an S&P 500 Materials component — producing pressure-sensitive label and packaging materials, intelligent labels (RFID, NFC), retail branding and information solutions, and industrial and automotive performance materials through approximately 35,000 employees in 50+ countries. In fiscal year 2024, Avery Dennison reported revenues of approximately $8.8 billion (+4% year-over-year), with the Materials Group segment (pressure-sensitive labeling materials — the adhesive coated paper and film stock that brand owners convert into product labels) and the Solutions Group segment (intelligent labels — RFID tags, apparel branding labels, and digital printing solutions) both contributing to growth. CEO Deon Stander (appointed 2022, previously COO) has accelerated Avery Dennison's "intelligent label" strategy: RFID-enabled product labels (Avery Dennison's Embelex RFID inlays embedded in retail apparel tags, pharmaceutical packaging, and food labels) provide item-level inventory tracking data that retailers (Walmart, H&M, Target), pharmaceutical manufacturers, and food processors use for supply chain visibility, checkout speed, and loss prevention — transitioning Avery Dennison from a materials company to an "information infrastructure" company where each label is a digital data carrier. The 2023 acquisition of LG (formerly known as LG Industries — a label and flexible packaging converter in Southeast Asia and India) expanded Avery Dennison's label converting capabilities in fast-growing Asia Pacific consumer markets.

The company trades on NYSE (CARR) and generated approximately $22 billion in revenues for FY2024 under CEO David Gitlin, who has executed a major portfolio transformation: the $13.2 billion acquisition of Viessmann Climate Solutions—Germany's leading heat pump and home energy management systems manufacturer—closed in January 2024, while Carrier simultaneously divested its Chubb fire and security business and commercial refrigeration segment, sharpening focus on HVAC and climate solutions for residential and commercial buildings.
