History

NOVEXX Solutions is a global leader for all needs in terms of Printing, Labeling and Print & Apply Solutions including a comprehensive range of labeling materials. NOVEXX Solutions originated from Avery Dennison, the inventor of the self-adhesive label, and is based in Eching near Munich. We count around 250 employees and serve the market with 11 locations around the globe. We are proud of our roots and history and want to share with you the most important milestones in the development of Avery Dennison up until the birth of NOVEXX Solutions.

Avery Dennison’s origins go back to the early 1930s, while NOVEXX Solutions as it is today was founded in 2015. NOVEXX Solutions is the former successful and strong-selling “Industrial Print & Apply (IPA)” line of business of Avery Dennison, which the L. Possehl & Co. mbH Group of companies acquired in June 2015. This acquisition makes the IPA business as NOVEXX Solutions even stronger and enables us to further improve our products, operations and services. This former integral part of Avery Dennison can count on more than 55 years of experience in Printing and Labeling Solutions including hardware, software and consumables products.
