Jowat opens modern adhesive center in China

Jowat – the well-known adhesives manufacturer – has opened a new production plant in China’s Zhejiang province, some 70 kilometres from Shanghai. This new plant of the Detmold-based company is intended to produce around 9 thousand tonnes of custom-made adhesives per year for the Asian market starting in the second quarter of 2024.

“With a focus on water-based dispersion adhesives as well as on innovative solutions specially adapted to the consumer electronics market, the new facility spanning over 11,000 square meters provides not only robust production and storage capabilities but also a state-of-the-art research and development center“, the company explained in its press release.

“Over 80 percent of the highly demanded electronic accessories are currently manufactured in China. Due to the geographical proximity to this very attractive growth market, we can now offer our customers innovative Jowat adhesives locally, with rapid development cycles and optimum availability”, added Ralf Schelbach, Vice President for Asia Pacific at Jowat.
