Jowat is an important acting producer of industrial adhesives, solvent based, water based and hotmelt adhesives. Their product range is mainly used in the woodworking industry, the paper and packaging industry and the textile and automotive industry. The Jowat group employs more than 600 employees and recorded a total turnover of over 140 million Euro for 2005.

Novamelt GmbH is the major supplier of hotmelt pressure sensitive adhesives as well as UV curable adhesives to the European market, especially in the applications of labels, tapes and medical products.

As in Germany, Novamelt-Jowat offers an application service center and the possibility to test under practical conditions the different adhesives with our customers. For coating trials, a slot-die coater is available.

The bundling of Novamelt’s strength as a leading and competent partner for environmentally friendly adhesives and UV-curable adhesives and Jowat’s 30 years of experience in the US market combines a typical win-win situation for the benefit of the American customers in the coating sector.
