Our Take

Pasadena, Calif-based Avery manufactures pressure-sensitive materials, tickets, tags, labels and other converted products. Avery has over 200 manufacturing and distribution facilities encompassing more than 60 countries. Its clientele is spread across the U.S., Europe, Asia, Latin America and other regions.

Avery’s restructuring initiatives are expected to deliver annualized savings of more than $100 million in 2013. Furthermore, with the divestiture of the underperforming Office and Consumer Products unit, the company will be able to focus on its market-leading, pressure-sensitive materials business and Retail Branding and Information Solutions segment.

Avery currently retains a short-term Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
