As of June 1st, Novexx is independent from Avery-Dennison. Bought by the Possehl Group–a €3.2 billion global holding corporation with a steady track record “as a stable, long-term proprietor” that promotes operational independence–we can expect a smooth transition. Century Systems is now the primary US distributor of Novexx products, which now also include the 64-0X, AP 5.4, ALX and ALS series. Yes, there will be some changes. But, the bottom line: business as usual, only expanded.

You may not even notice a functional difference when buying Novexx from Century, practically just a different logo on formerly Avery products. We still sell, stock and service both Avery-Dennison and Novexx lines. The quality, technical specs, materials and even part numbers of all Novexx products remain the same. Warranties, past and future, are still valid and maintain the same terms–in fact, turnaround is faster and easier than ever. You can still order from your usual salesperson and contact our headquarters just the same.

A few things do change, however. Due to the split, Novexx products is no longer sourced from the Avery-Dennison branch in Miamisburg, Ohio just 30 minutes from our distribution center in Dayton. All  products are now sourced from their headquarters in Eching, Germany. But the good news is that we stock Novexx and have begun re-ordering daily or weekly during this transition in anticipation of longer lead times to save YOU time and always keep well stocked. Not only that, but our Dayton, Ohio distribution center is strategically located to ship to 34 states in 2 business days with FedEx ground–essentially international products with express shipping for economy domestic prices.

Century has traditionally focused on desktop-style barcode label printers, accessories and supplies, but with this transition we are becoming a complete Novexx distributor and have added Print & Apply products to our specialties. From the ALS 204/206/256 and ALS 306/309 series built for 24/7 high-volume, high-speed print & apply in the toughest environments, to the money-saving green solution LPA 81 with backing-paper-free labels, or, somewhere in-between, the versatile and user-friendly ALX 92X and ALX 72X series optimized for high or low volume production–our sales team can match you with the perfect system for nearly any application.

Bottom line: business as usual, only broader. Century is your complete Novexx and Avery-Dennison distributor.
