Exceptional performance. Why would anyone expect less?

We measure ourselves to this bar every day. This means going beyond expectations for customers. It means a commitment throughout the organization to provide industry leadership by driving innovation and providing sustainable products and processes.

This is the definition of „the JM Experience.“

CHALLENGE US. PROPRIETARY PROCESS MEANS TOTAL CONTROL. JM nonwovens provide strength, versatility and thermal insulation. They’re increasingly the product of choice across industries. They’re used in bituminous roofing membranes and floor coverings. Ceiling tiles and building insulation. Filter elements and batteries. Wind turbine blades and commercial kitchen equipment.

EXPERIENCE QUALITY: SUPERIOR PRODUCT. PROVEN RELIABILITY.

THE PRODUCTION PROCESS: EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE, CONSISTENCY, RELIABILITY. Customers rely on JM nonwovens.

It’s the critical edge that makes the difference. That edge is product quality and consistency. JM technologies and processes repeatedly set precedents in performance and efficiencies. By insisting upon stringent process controls within a world-class proprietary manufacturing process, JM achieves specifications demanded by customers – every time.

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.
