As Avery Dennison continues to monitor the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation, the company is committed to keeping its customers updated on the processes and plans that may impact their businesses. 

Gernot Ritzdorf, VP of sales, Label & Packaging Materials, North America, has issued an update:

We want to thank you for your continued support. We recognize that, over the last three weeks, the demand in the industry has been unprecedented. As such, our lead times are longer than usual. Lead times are longer for some products that are in very high demand, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and e-commerce labels.

Right now, our plants are operating well. We feel very fortunate that our manufacturing sites have been minimally impacted, however, we know that the situation is ever-evolving and changing rapidly. We understand the impact our lead times have on your business. We are working diligently to ensure the safety of our employees and the quality of the product we ship to you.

Thank you for your patience with us as we work through these challenging times together. We hope that you, your staff and your families are staying safe and healthy. We will continue to send you frequent updates via email.

As always, please feel free to reach out to your Avery Dennison sales or customer service representative with any questions.
