RUDI FATUR AND BRANKO BERGOČ GET THE AWARD FOR INOVATIONS

Granting the awards to the best innovators in the region which took place on June 11 in the manor house Jamski dvorec in Postojna was also the final part of the competition carried out for the sixth year by the Innovations Committee of the Postojna’s Chamber of Commerce. Among the awarded innovators, there were two employees of the subsidiary Javor IPP d.o.o. – Rudi Fatur and Branko Bergoč.

The aim of this competition is to encourage innovative culture in companies, as knowledge, innovative ideas, and development are the key to the success of every company as well as the basis for staying competitive.

This competition is becoming more and more important in our region, because the number of applied innovative ideas has increased significantly. This year, there were 58 innovators from our region, who applied 21 innovations. The committee granted 3 first, 11 second, and 7 third awards. Rudi Fatur, Branko Bergoč and their co-author Zvone Nagode of the company NMC d.o.o. from Logatec got the third award for their innovation “Optimization of the cutting of wood on the multi-blade circular saw”.

The authors of the innovation tried to find the perfect solution to increase productiveness in the shuttering panels’ production, and came up with the optimum for the multi-blade circular saw. This is the optimal solution for the cutting of unedged boards.

JAVOR'S SECOND PRESENTATION AT THE SHOW IN NANTES

From May 28th to May 30th, the 10th international show Carrefour International du Bois took place in Nantes, where among 507 exhibitors Javor presented its shuttering panels, plywood boards, and veneer.

The first time Javor exhibited in Nanates and on the French market was two years ago, when we presented products from all four wood programmes. The show Carrefour International du Bois takes place every two years, and is aimed at professionals, who deal with wood processing and wood commerce.

At the show, the interests were greatly influenced by the current EU market situation – supplies are much higher than demands. The visit of the relatively short-lasting show was also disturbed by the one-day demonstrations in Nantes. From 507 exhibitors, 25 % came from abroad; whereas most of them were, as in the past years, French producers and sellers. For this jubilee show, the organisers extended the exhibition space for 11 % to 7,000 m².

The Spanish market which has become one of the important Javor’s markets has been facing business recession since last autumn. The recession has first started to show in construction, as investments in buildings – especially apartments – have been cut down drastically.

Despite of the crisis in construction, the Show SYMPOC 2008 was well attended – there were around 100.000 visitors. There was also a great interest for Javor’s products. We presented shuttering panels, isoplyform, and plywood overlaid with phenol film. Javor’s exhibition space was visited by buyers from Spain, Portugal, Italy, Andorra, and even Chile and Ecuador.

The presentation provided potential buyers with detailed information about Javor’s products, thou its effectiveness will show when we get orders form our buyers.
