Avery sells to worldwide markets

New industrial uses for self-adhesive labels expand dramatically during World War II, fueling the Company's rapid growth. Avery Adhesives establishes new customers abroad with the establishment of its first license holder, in England. An important strategic business direction is set for the Company with the creation of a new self-adhesive base materials business, Fasson, and the construction of the first base materials plant in Painesville, Ohio. By the end of its second decade, Avery Adhesives reports sales of $5 million.
