Dear Readers,
2007 has gotten off to a good start and the general economic climate is positive. It's the right time to be setting the sails
for growth and working on developing innovative strategies and new products. We at J&M are ready to accompany you on your journey
with motivated and highly skilled people. Indeed, according to the league table published in the February edition of the Capital business
magazine J&M is among "Germany's Top Employers 2007"; and not without reason. Having been ranked 13th in the 50 to 500 employee category and
finished 32nd overall out of 198 participating companies, we are delighted with the results.
Successful co-operation with our customers also proves that the chemistry is right with, and at, J&M. In this edition we will be presenting
some of our latest projects including those with Griesson - de Beukelaer, Amann Group, and Neenah Gessner. The Supply Chain Days conference
will be taking place in Heidelberg for the first time in June. This industry-wide trade conference will be addressing the subject of
"Autonomy vs. Centralized Control of Supply Chains". We would be delighted to welcome you on board for these exciting discussions.
While we are on the subject of new developments this might be a good opportunity to mention our new logo, which has been with us since January.
Our website and this newsletter have also been given a new and polished design.
We hope that you enjoy reading this edition.
With kind regards,
Dr. Andreas Müller
Chairman of the Management Board and Marketing/PR Director
