Self-managing teams drive capabilities: A commitment to optimal product quality requires close cooperation between engineers and experienced colleagues on the factory floor.
“THE SECRET TO OUR SUCCESS: EXPERIENCE, KNOW-HOW, AND INSTINCT.” It’s one thing to produce nonwovens on an industrial scale. It’s quite another thing to achieve superior quality in the process. The key ingredient is the experience, know-how and even the professional instinct of the manufacturing employees. It takes exceptional skill and teamwork to maintain specifications. Often it is a production nuance that can make the difference between producing an average and a superior product. JM is committed to providing the highest level of process controls in the industry – and to manning the process with the best and brightest.
