Best Indirect Supplier

GP Lux (Kayl, Luxembourg): This award goes to the indirect supplier that provided superior quality and service while continually improving their processes. A supplier to Avery Dennison since 2004, GP Lux is the company’s highest-volume regional packaging supplier, and their wedges are used at almost every location in Europe.

Best Supplier Sustainability

Eneco Wind (Mechelen, Belgium): This award goes to the supplier that demonstrated both leadership and action to align with Avery Dennison’s sustainability policy to use responsibly sourced materials, comply with third-party verification processes and show clear commitment to innovation and continuous improvement in this very important area. Eneco partnered with Avery Dennison to build and launch last fall a wind turbine at Avery Dennison’s Turnhout, Belgium, plant. This turbine will supply about one-third of the plant's energy demand, while also lowering the company’s energy costs.

Best Supplier Service

Gantrade Corp. (Montvale, New Jersey, USA): This award goes to the supplier who in 2017 constantly met Avery Dennison’s availability targets and found ways to reduce overall supplied lead times. Gantrade went above and beyond to ensure Avery Dennison had an adequate supply of acrylic and vinyl acetate monomers, even in the face of hurricanes in the U.S. and a major force majeure situation in Europe.

Best Supplier Innovation

BASF S.A. (São Paulo, Brazil): This award goes to the supplier that was a key partner in the successful implementation of new products and ideas in 2017. BASF in Latin America partnered closely with Avery Dennison last year to develop a specific, high-growth product segment – acrylic film adhesives – in Brazil and Argentina.

Best Supplier Quality

Sappi (Brussels, Belgium): This award goes to the supplier that in 2017 best demonstrated the ability to deliver defect-free material that exceeded the expectations of Avery Dennison and its customers. As one of the company’s global paper suppliers, Sappi not only grew their business with Avery Dennison last year, but did so while reducing their defect rate to best-in-class levels.

Best Transportation Supplier 

USF Holland (Holland, MI, USA): This award recognizes the consistent delivery of outstanding transportation services. Despite freight capacity constraints in the U.S. in 2017, this carrier consistently provided on-time delivery to Avery Dennison’s top customers.
