Avery Dennison Label and Graphic Materials has honored 13 pressure sensitive industry suppliers for the company’s annual Global Supplier Awards. No in-person ceremony was held this year in order to keep all employees and suppliers safe during the coronavirus pandemic.

“It is important to recognize suppliers from around the globe whose extraordinary service to our business exceeded expectations in each of the metrics we use to measure supplier success,” says Robyn Buma, VP, North America & Global Procurement. “While we are disappointed we could not honor them in person this year, we want to ensure each supplier is awarded for their commitment to our business.”

The Avery Dennison Supplier Distinction Award Program considers four areas of excellence required to maintain a competitive advantage in an increasingly demanding industry: Sustainability, Quality, Service, and Strategic Growth.

To be considered eligible for recognition, a supplier must have met key metrics in each of the four areas.

The 2019 Avery Dennison Supplier Distinction Award winners include:

• Delfort Group
• Mitsubishi Polyester Film
• Foshan New Changsheng Plastics Film Co. Ltd. of Amcor Group
• Mondi Release Liners
• Inteplast Group
• Papierfabrik August Koehler Group
• Kraton Corporation
• Roehm America LLC
• LG Chem

Avery Dennison Special Recognition honors are awarded to suppliers that have performed in an exceptional way, other than the Supplier Distinction qualifications, to meet or exceed the needs of our business and our customers. They include:

• HSF Films
• Moorim Paper Co. Ltd.
• Shanghai NAR Industrial
• Siliconature S.P.A.

“We want to congratulate all of the 2019 winners,” says Buma. “Thank you for your commitment to our industry and our business.”
