Jowat SE, a global leader in industrial adhesives, based in Detmold, and Gannomat, a specialist in high-performance woodworking machinery from Telfs, Austria, have partnered to improve adhesive processes in industrial wood processing. The collaboration aims to optimise operations in joinery and carpentry around the globe, focusing on developing practical solutions, continuous knowledge exchange, and addressing processor needs.
Gannomat’s Engineering Excellence and Global Reach
Founded in 1956, Gannomat remains a family-owned company committed to precision in woodworking technology. With over six decades of experience, Gannomat has earned a stellar international reputation for its high-quality machinery. Its product range includes handheld dowel inserters, CNC drills, glue and dowel machines, glue applicators, and custom application systems. These machines are used in more than 60 countries, serving a diverse clientele from small workshops to large industrial furniture manufacturers.
Approximately 95% of Gannomat’s products are exported, underscoring its strong global demand. The company maintains a deep commitment to sustainable production, precision engineering, and long-lasting customer relationships. To ensure consistent quality, Gannomat manufactures crucial components in-house, including its well-regarded glue nozzles, which play a vital role in the performance of their machines.
A Shared Vision for Optimized Adhesive Technology
The heart of the Jowat-Gannomat collaboration lies in their shared goal: to combine machine and adhesive technologies for flawless performance. Achieving reliable, efficient, and reproducible bonding results requires that materials, application systems, and process parameters work in seamless harmony. To support this, Jowat provides Gannomat with specially selected PVAc dispersion adhesives from its Jowacoll® product line. These adhesives are used for internal testing and recommended to end customers.
Among the adhesives tested are Jowacoll® 114.60, Jowacoll® 114.30, and the one-component D4 adhesive Jowacoll® 107.20. Each adhesive is tailored for specific applications, including horizontal doweling, press gluing, and surface bonding. These adhesives, when paired with Gannomat’s electronically controlled glue application machines, such as the Injecta, deliver exceptional results. The combination offers high bonding strength, accurate adhesive cut-off at the nozzle without dripping or stringing, and consistently clean processing—all while reducing adhesive consumption.
Real-World Testing for Reliable Performance
Before delivery, Gannomat rigorously tests its machines using Jowat adhesives under actual production conditions. This ensures that the machines are optimally tuned for different substrates and processes, offering customers maximum reliability and confidence from day one. Through this process, Jowat also gains valuable insights from Gannomat’s engineering team, which help refine and optimise their dispersion adhesives.
Mr. Ganner of Jowat emphasised, “Due to the wide range of Jowat adhesives, we’re able to tailor our Gannomat machines to our customers’ specific needs. This is a win-win situation for everyone involved.” The combination of Jowat adhesives and Gannomat gluing systems—including nozzles developed in-house by Gannomat—ensures superior processing quality and performance, meeting the strictest quality standards.
Jowacoll® Dispersion Adhesives: Ideal for Woodworking
The Jowacoll® product line is a well-known solution in the woodworking industry, providing reliable and versatile adhesives for various applications. These adhesives are particularly beneficial for mechanical processes:
When used with Gannomat’s machines, Jowacoll® adhesives deliver reproducible, clean, and economically efficient results, offering significant advantages for daily production needs.
Driving Innovation through Synergy
The partnership not only benefits the companies but also promotes long-term innovation. New materials and changing production conditions are directly integrated into Jowat’s lab work. Gannomat, in turn, gains from the continuous optimization of adhesives, enhancing its machinery’s effectiveness.
Alexander Ernst, Solution Partner Support Manager at Jowat, explained, “The close cooperation with Gannomat provides invaluable insights into real-world production processes. This helps our R&D experts further fine-tune our solutions to specific applications.” The partnership exemplifies Jowat’s philosophy of developing solutions based on real-world experience to meet actual customer needs.
Conclusion: Advancing Woodworking with Precision and Sustainability
The Jowat-Gannomat partnership highlights the power of collaboration in advancing industrial processes. By combining high-quality machinery with optimized adhesive systems, the two companies create significant advantages for wood processors, from small workshops to large-scale production facilities. Their focus on practical solutions, customer needs, and continuous improvement in adhesive and machine technologies is setting a new standard for quality, efficiency, and sustainability in the woodworking industry.
