Social Responsibility
Avery takes corporate social responsibility seriously. It is important to us that we take responsibility beyond our fixed, legal obligations: for our employees, for the environment and for social projects. Transparency is important to us - what have we already achieved and where do we still want to improve?

Proudly Made In Australia
At Avery we are so proud to locally manufacture our products out of our factory in Castle Hill, Sydney.
Manufacturing locally means you’re not only supporting local jobs and the Australian economy, but also getting the best quality products and leaving a smaller transport footprint.
