About Avery Dennison Smartrac:

Building on a spirit of innovation and material expertise, Avery Dennison has now ushered in a new era. This is our chance to provide the tried and tested and well-known label label with digital technology components in such a way that every product can now be given a unique, digital identity and thus a digital life.

This “intelligent” technology opens up a world in which everything is interconnected. A world in which the “who, what and where” of every single product becomes clear, irrefutable and absolutely visible. Origin, authenticity, manufacture, procurement, real-time tracking; that is what we guarantee for all areas in the entire supply chain to your home. Thus, a company of classic label and label production will become a leading technology company of tomorrow, which will allow us all to participate in the “Internet of Things” (IoT) as a positive, improved, globally perceptible reality. The label has always shown us certain information about a product - now it will be able to tell us everything! 

In February 2020, Avery Dennison acquired Smartrac, a leading manufacturer of RFID products. In combination with our Intelligent Labels segment, we see our common potential as limitless. Our in-depth knowledge of the industry and our know-how in the areas of technology and innovation, research and development, quality and service will therefore jointly contribute to promoting the introduction and use of our RFID technology in various industries. We stand on the shoulders of today and are moving even closer to the future - a future that we share with a pioneering spirit and determine positively. And we want you to be part of our journey!
