"We place a high emphasis on the ASEAN region, especially the rapidly growing Viet Nam market in which we have been a major player since 2004," Georges Gravanis, president of materials group, Avery Dennison said.

"Our new distribution centre in Viet Nam is an important step in further expanding our footprint in the emerging markets. We believe that Viet Nam will be the company's key driver of success in this region."

The 5,600sq.m centre, which cost almost US$700,000 to set up, features high-speed slitting machines that are capable of finishing high-quality paper and filmic pressure-sensitive materials.
