The previously announced investment is one of Avery Dennison\u2019s largest operational initiatives globally in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis investment creates a number of advantages for Avery Dennison in Europe,\u201d said Tim Presto, vice president of supply chain &amp; operations Europe, at Avery Dennison. \u201cIt gives us a more flexible and agile production network, increases our topcoating capabilities and helps us to better address fluctuations in customer demand. With its modern set-up and central location, the new expansion supports our sustainability ambitions. It leverages our footprint to minimize our CO<sub>2<\/sub> impact by reducing the need for transport within the production process, while putting us closer to more of our customers. Finally, and most importantly, it gives us state-of-the-art machines and equipment that strengthen our product quality while maximizing uptime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The expansion incorporates a state of the art, multi-capability coater, additional slitter capacity, a new packaging line and an automated warehouse.<\/p>\n<p>The total space utilized in Rodange increased by more than 12,000 sqm and is optimized to deliver maximum sustainability benefits related to waste management, energy consumption and water-use efficiency. In addition, by building the facility in a location closer to more of its customers, the company is anticipating an annual reduction in greenhouse gasses of 700 tons from reduced delivery-related energy consumption.<\/p>\n<p>Etienne Schneider, deputy-prime minister, minister of the economy said: \u201cThe expansion of Avery Dennison\u2019s Rodange production facilities confirms the dynamism and healthy growth of the Luxembourg industry \u2013 with a strong focus on Industry 4.0 digital technologies like automation, robotics or big data. I strongly welcome that Avery Dennison values the Luxembourg economic environment for innovative and sustainable manufacturing and has built its project on sustainability right from the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14979 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Photo-65-M6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Photo-65-M6.jpg 625w, https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Photo-65-M6-480x362.jpg 480w, https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Photo-65-M6-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Photo-65-M6-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Photo-65-M6-600x452.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-14984","member-news","type-member-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member-news\/14984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member-news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/member-news"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member-news\/14984\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
