GERMANY – Jowat, the adhesive specialist from Detmold, Germany, opened a new subsidiary in Vietnam thus expanding its global presence. The new subsidiary of Ho Chi Minh City is an important step for the commercial development of Jowat in the Asia Pacific region.

The continued growth of demand for Jowat adhesives in these markets, led the company to increase two years ago its capacity by opening a new production plant in Malaysia.

The newly established Jowat Vietnam Co. Ltd. will be managed by Sebastian Schäfers and continues the strategy of the Jowat Group for supplying rapidly evolving regional markets in Asia with superior adhesive products, innovative bonding solutions, and a comprehensive service with the customer in focus.

“By becoming actively and directly involved in the dynamic economy of Vietnam, we have opened up new, highly interesting business opportunities. This allows us to expand the international sales and support network of Jowat SE in the Asia-Pacific region and to further strengthen our business relationship with regional customers,” says Dr Ralf Schelbach, Vice President Asia Pacific at Jowat SE.
