Teamwork on the Cookbook

A Jarltech cookbook with 36 dishes from all of our sales areas...cooked and photographed by Jarltech employees, and printed in each employee's language, as well as in English. This was the idea we had in June, and it was a Herculean task for our marketing department.

Dreams During Company Appraisals

Our entire industry is in motion: While we have already purchased two companies this year, some other competitors seem to develop differently.

From our perspective: no surprise.

End of the quarter panic

My 10 favorite vendor quotes at the end of the quarter:

1) We normally do not exert warehousing pressure on the distribution at the end of the quarter, and haven't for years. This time was an exceptional situation.

2) Mr. Spranger, of course no other distributor will receive this offer!

Love China!

For the past two hours, I have been sitting in the car on Hainan Island, on the way from Sanya to Haikou. We had a successful "Mobility Weekend" in Sanya together with Honeywell and Elo Touch Solutions, but the trip back decided to be difficult.
