The story

Founded by R. Stanton Avery in 1935, in Los Angeles.1

The company was founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1935 as Kum Kleen Products, a partnership of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Stanton Avery. The name was changed to Avery Adhesives in 1937. In 1946, the company was incorporated as Avery Adhesive Label Corp., and the name was subsequently changed to Avery Adhesive Products, Inc. in 1958, and to Avery Products Corporation in 1964. The name was changed again to Avery International Corporation in 1976, and it became Avery Dennison after the company merged with the Dennison Manufacturing Company in 1990.

H. Russell Smith, a college friend of Avery's, joined the company in 1946 as a one-third owner and for nearly 40 years was Avery's partner in entrepreneurship, serving at various times as the company's president, chief executive officer and chairman of the board. Smith incorporated the 50-person company in 1946, started its core label materials business, expanded operations across the U.S. and into Europe, and opened a renowned research center. As the company's representative to the financial community, he led its listing on the New York Stock Exchange in 1967. At Smith's death in 2014, CEO Dean Scarborough noted that “our company owes its existence and character in large part to Russ Smith's business acumen, personal integrity and generosity of spirit. He was the perfect partner for Stan Avery.” In 2022 the company won an ASC innovation award for "Advanced Acrylics Technology for High Performance Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Applications".

You can find the complete timeline in the history section of the corporate website, including the introduction to the New York Stock Exchange in 1969 and the inclusion on the Fortune 500 list in 1976.

Dennison Manufacturing

The Dennison Manufacturing Company was founded by Andrew Dennison and his son Aaron Lufkin Dennison, residents of Brunswick. Maine, in 1844, as a jewelry- and watch-box manufacturing company located in the Dunlap Block of Maine Street. Five years later Aaron turned the Dennison Manufacturing Company over to his younger brother, Eliphalet Whorf Dennison, who took over and developed the company into a significant-size industrial enterprise. It was in 1898 that the business moved to a location in Framingham, Massachusetts. Aaron Dennison went on to co-found the Waltham Watch Company in 1850, a leader in the American system of watch manufacturing using interchangeable parts.

Office and Consumer Products

Avery Dennison created a separate division for office products such as binders, file labels and name badges in 1982. The division and its products, sold under the Avery brand and logo, contrasted with the company's larger materials division in that its products were finished (“converted”) materials, and they were aimed at consumers as well as businesses. Over the next 30 years, the division grew, as personal computing created a market for printable media both at home and at work. However, with the rise of email and the decline in conventional mail, the office products market as a whole began to decline. On July 1, 2013, Avery Dennison completed the sale of Office and Consumer Products and a second business, Designed and Engineered Solutions, to CCL Industries. Avery Dennison retains its full name, history, brand and logo.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Avery Dennison names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 25, 2026: 37 risks under these headings, as written.20

  • Risk Related to Our International Operations
  • The demand for our products is impacted by the effects of, and changes in, worldwide economic, geopolitical, social and labor conditions, which have had in the past and could in the future have a material adverse effect on our business.
  • Foreign currency exchange rates, and fluctuations in those rates, affect our business.
  • Our operations and activities outside of the U.S. subject us to risks different from and potentially greater than those associated with our domestic operations.
  • Our strategy includes continuing to grow in emerging markets, which exposes us to less stable geopolitical conditions, civil unrest, economic volatility, and other risks applicable to operating in these regions.
  • Risks Related to Our Business
  • As a manufacturer, our sales and profitability depend upon the availability and cost of raw materials and energy, which may be subject to significant price fluctuations, and our ability to control or offset increases in raw material and labor costs. Raw material and freight cost increases have impacted our business.
  • We are affected by changes in our markets due to competitive conditions, technological developments, laws and regulations, and customer preferences. If we do not compete effectively or respond appropriately to these changes, it could reduce demand for our products and solutions, or we could lose market share or reduce our selling prices to maintain market share, any of which could materially adversely affect our business.
  • We are affected by changes in our markets due to increasing environmental regulations and sustainability trends. If we do not respond appropriately to these changes, it could negatively impact customer demand, our market share and pricing, any of which could materially adversely affect our business. Adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, including those related to the impacts of climate change, have and can adversely affect our business.
  • We have recently acquired companies and are likely to acquire other companies. Acquisitions come with significant risks and uncertainties, including those related to integration, technology and employees.
  • A significant consolidation of our customer base could negatively impact our business.
  • Because some of our products are sold by third parties, our business depends in part on the financial condition of these parties and their customers.
The other 27 risks
  • Our reputation, sales, and earnings could be materially adversely affected if the quality of our products and services does not meet customer expectations. In addition, product liability claims or regulatory actions could materially adversely affect our business and reputation.
  • Changes in our business strategies and the restructuring of our operations affect our costs and the profitability of our businesses. In addition, our profitability may be materially adversely affected if we generate less productivity improvement from our restructuring and other cost reduction actions than anticipated.
  • Our ability to develop and successfully market new products and applications impacts our competitive position.
  • Our infrastructure needs impact our business and expenditures.
  • Difficulty in the collection of receivables as a result of economic conditions or other market factors could have a material adverse effect on our business.
  • There is a rapidly evolving awareness and focus from certain stakeholders, including our investors, customers and employees, with respect to our company’s sustainability and governance practices, which could affect our business.
  • Risks Related to Information Technology
  • Significant disruption to the information technology infrastructure that stores our information and runs our operations could materially adversely affect our business.
  • Cybersecurity or other security breaches could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and reputation.
  • Risks Related to Income Taxes
  • Changes in our tax rates affect our business.
  • Legislation implementing changes in taxation of business activities, adoption of other corporate tax policies, or other changes in tax legislation impact our business.
  • The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing compliance requirements and audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities.
  • We have deferred tax assets that we may not be able to realize under certain circumstances.
  • Risks Related to Human Capital
  • For us to remain competitive, deliver on our business strategy and avoid business disruption, it is important to recruit high caliber talent, retain key management and highly-skilled employees and receive high quality service from all outsourced service providers. This includes providing market-competitive compensation and benefits and ensuring an engaged global team.
