In 1997, the PSF Management team was asked to analyize Avery Dennison's overall facility operations in Northest Ohio in order to develop and implement new operational and financial procedures, which would improve overall operations while saving time and money. Avery reduced consultants in 2007, but we may be called back for future consulting assignments.
