Avery Opens Central American Plant
Avery Dennison Retail Information Services has installed a $3 million label-manufacturing facility in San Salvador, El Salvador, to support its Central American apparel manufacturers. The facility provides production and delivery of woven labels, printed fabric labels, price tickets, size stickers, and bar-coded tags and labels.
“The new facility will enable us to respond more rapidly to customer needs and to reduce expenses associated with shipping tags and labels from the U.S.,” said James J. Rollo, Avery’s general manager for Latin America. “This, in turn, will allow Central American sewing operations to more easily meet the delivery requirements of their retail- and brand-owner customers in the U.S. and elsewhere.”
The new facility will eventually employ about 100 workers, Rollo said. —Robert McAllister
