    The A dhes i v e S pec i a l i s t 2 0 0 9 / 1 2

    In m rious ditoria in mid-2008 I hos to

    tak about using th stratg ou ha and fous-

    ing on th targts rathr than th toos.

    I bi this is sti aid but I mad a big mistak.

    I said it ookd ik th robms in th Amrian

    onom woud ha ss of an infun on thrst of th word than xtd. That was wrong.

    Toda w know what an normous infun on

    th word onom th robms in th US

    ratd. Th worst thing is that w do not know

    how or whn th wi nd.

    At th nd of 2008 w ft ford, for th first

    tim in our 80-ar histor as a oman, to mak

    substantia rdutions, -10%, in th workfor.

    This mans that w wi b 100 rsons fwr

    than a ar ago. Howr, w do not want to gi

    ou ss sri or fwr nw adhsis sstms.

    W wi ahi this b rorganizing and thrb

    bttr utiis th rsours w ha.

    How an w rdu our osts substantia

    and k u th good sri that ou, our us-

    tomrs, xt from us? It was rtain a major

    hang rduing osts whi nsuring that

    w wi not disaoint ou.

    On sim masur w oud tak, that

    woud not ha an immdiat ngati fft on

    our oman, woud b to rdu ong-trm

    R&D. Howr, w ar in a situation whr thr

    is a dmand for ow missions from formad-

    hd-basd roduts. This mans that w, in

    som ass, ar ford to ra od rodutswith nw formadhd-fr ons. Nw roduts

    shoud rfrab b basd on rnwab raw

    matrias and th osts shoud not b highr than

    toda. This is a hang and our rait. Thr-

    for w didd that w oud not sto a our

    intrsting R&D rogramms. I was r asd

    at our ast R&D mting to s that man nw

    sstms, whih ou ha bn asking for, ar

    now on thir wa onto th markt. I gnuin

    ho that ou soon wi bnfit from thm.

    Th abo was a about us. How about ou

    I imagin that tims ar tough for ou as w?

    Unfortunat, as soon as thr is a whiff of

    downturn or rssion, most omanis rush to

    ut initiatis on th markt sid. W a know that

    wood onstrution in omarison to othr mat-

    rias has a big otntia to grow. Toda this is our

    This is th nw AkzoNob. W ar on

    Wijrs adds that th introdution of

    Tomorrows Answrs Toda is ntra to th nw

    What dos that ont man xat?

    It mans w bi that what is good for our us-tomrs toda is not nssari good nough for

    Th dision to rtain AkzoNob as th om-

    an nam was a stratgi on basd on xtn-

    tinud as a ororat nam.

    Th nw brand is about rating brand qui-

    t, not dstroing it, xains Wijrs. Our stud-

    is onfirmd that thr is onsidrab au in

    th nam of AkzoNob. It is w rstd

    throughout our industris and is snonmous

    with trust and quait, so thr was no rason tohang it. Our stratg now is to ombin th

    arad a r strong and distinti asst, but it

    has bn mad mor rant for th 21st ntur

    and now has a gratr sns of owr and nr-

    This is a universal adhesive, tested and widely

    used in the timber industry. We have also started

    Over the next few months the site staff, together

    In the presses we changed the way adhesives

    are applie d to edges, explai ns P. Weimann.

    Traditionally they are applied using a roller. Our

    solu tion was to appl y adhesives using spec ial

    spray nozzles. This method is not only more eco-

    nomical but also faster. The transfer of the material

    over a roller takes a certain amount of time,

    whereas spraying is faster.

    tion and sorting of dgs.

    The conventional technology meant a certain

    loss of raw material, explains Wojciech Chlubek,

    Director of the Swedwood Poland plant. First the

    wood had to be trimmed to a specified length, then

    sliced on a planing machine, and only then could

    suitable pieces be selected for further processing.

    Now the entire beam is cut at the beginning

    and a scanner optimises the planks to the required

    length and sorts them according to quality.
