P|18 Progress At the production site of Jowat AG in Malaysia, the Graduate Engineer Mrs Emi Rahmawati is responsible for the Quality Management. Already working since 2005 for Jowat AG, she is responsible at the Malaysia location for ensuring ob- servance of the global production standards of Jowat AG. In Detmold, she was qualified additionally for this position – beyond the studies for her degree – and became acquainted with the Jowat standards and processes. She is success- fully implementing these in Malaysia while pursuing all chances that come up for the Jowat Quality Management to systematically convert the potentials for im- provement into advantages for the location. In Malaysia, many things are not at all what they are in Germany. For instance, the local climate conditions lead to a very different curing process for adhesives; regional sources and suppliers of raw material demand specific criteria for evaluation, while the legal framework that applies to the production conditions must also be taken into consideration. These are the aspects, among many others, which Emi Rahmawati has to keep in view for an intelligent implementation of the Jowat quality standards on site. Jowat Inside News Jowat AG is expanding its global market presence New subsidiary in Australian With the foundation of Jowat Universal Adhesives Australia Pty. Ltd., and by taking over the business of the Australian adhesives manufacturer Universal Adhesives Pty. Ltd., Jowat AG is expanding its pre- sence in Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Isles. This underlines the Jowat strategy: to be close to its customers. Due to the successful distribution partnership with Universal Adhesives Pty. Ltd., especially the Jowat pro- ducts for load-bearing timber construction have already become firmly established in the Pacific region. Apart from the sales competence, the newly founded company also owns manufacturing facilities for hot melt and dispersion adhesives. This adhesive production meets market requirements and will ensure further growth for the focal industries of the Jowat Group. Competent partners for the customers of Jowat Universal Adhesives Australia Pty. Ltd. in the Pacific region are the team members around the Managing Directors Shane Devereaux and Dr Ralf Schelbach, who can draw on long-term experience and know-how in adhesives.
