TAGS: Hot-melt Adhesives Sealants
Pidilite Industries, India’s manufacturer of adhesives, sealants and construction chemicals has further strengthened its collaboration with Jowat, a German family-owned enterprise and one of the leading suppliers of industrial adhesives worldwide. Strengthening the partnership further, Pidilite will now exclusively offer Indian customers locally manufactured Jowat hot melts.
Serve High-growth Segments Clients
Since 2018, Pidilite has been exclusively handling sales and distribution of the entire range of Jowat adhesives in India and other neighboring countries including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal.
“
Pioneering is an important value at Pidilite. We have consistently pioneered new categories and technologies in India. Our collaboration with Jowat is another example of the same. With support from Jowat's team, we have now set up a best-in-class manufacturing and testing facility in Vapi, Gujarat, to manufacture hot melt adhesives in India. The hot melts will be co-branded as Fevicol Jowat. This will enable us to serve clients in high-growth segments such as furniture, packaging, automotive, and textiles, among others, where specialized adhesives are used,” said Mr. Sudhanshu Vats, deputy MD, Pidilite Industries.
“
Pidilite Industries is a leader in adhesives in Asia and we are delighted that we are taking this to the next level. Innovation in both technology and R&D are pivotal as we continue to deliver outstanding service to our customers. Jowat has pioneered the development of several high-end adhesive products and has constantly undertaken development work at the cutting edge of adhesive technology. With this Indian manufacturing facility, both the companies will closely work to serve and offer the best solutions and products to the customers,” said Mr. Klaus Kullmann, managing director, Jowat.
Inspired by India’s call for an 'Atmanirbhar Bharat', this collaboration will provide a comprehensive range of locally manufactured thermoplastic hot melt adhesives, Fevicol Jowat, for use in several industrial segments.
