en.Wedoany.com Reported - The expansion of Jowat Swiss AG's Swiss base, a subsidiary of the Jowat Group, has received a construction permit. The new facility will use the company's self-produced adhesives to construct a load-bearing glued laminated timber structure. This project, driven by Jowat Swiss AG, underscores the company's long-term commitment to the Swiss market, having evolved from a producer of basic natural adhesives to a global competence center for polyurethane adhesives.
The new facility is designed as a load-bearing glued laminated timber structure, combining modern sustainable construction practices with Jowat's core business—high-performance industrial adhesives. The warehouse has a total gross floor area of approximately 1,160 square meters, a building volume of about 14,000 cubic meters, and dimensions of roughly 46 meters in length, 21 meters in width, and 16 meters in height.
Dr. Olaf Meincke, Managing Director of Jowat Swiss AG and member of the Board of Directors of Jowat SE, stated that a notable feature of the project is the consistent use of Jowat's own adhesives, demonstrating the performance and versatility of the product portfolio in a real-world application. The project is being implemented in collaboration with Strüby Konzept AG, an expert in Swiss timber construction, which serves as the construction partner. Following approval, the project has proceeded to the next phase as planned.
In terms of management changes, Anton Rüegg concluded his tenure as Managing Director of Jowat Swiss AG at the regular meeting of the Administrative Board in March 2026. The Jowat Group expressed its gratitude for his long-term contributions. At the same meeting, the Administrative Board appointed Dr. Olaf Meincke as Managing Director of Jowat Swiss AG, while he continues his role as a member of the Board of Directors of Jowat SE. Daily operations are managed by two authorized signatories: Ms. Simone Kaiser in the commercial area and Mr. Marcel Widin in the technical area.
The Jowat Group has also realigned its sales activities in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) under unified leadership. The Swiss sales organization has now been integrated into the German sales structure. The new DACH sales organization is led by Mr. Kay-Henrik von der Heide, who assumes strategic and operational responsibility for the entire region. The Swiss sales team and customer service of Jowat Swiss AG have been incorporated into this structure. Klaus Kullmann, Board member responsible for Sales and Marketing, stated that this reorganization will further consolidate the Group's market position in the DACH region and provide customers with more focused service.
