Jowat Atasoy

Until 2004, Jowat was represented in Turkey by machinery and furniture sub-suppliers operating in the wood and furniture industry. These distributors, which consider adhesives as an auxiliary product besides their main business, have not been successful as requested. Therefore, Atasoy Teknolojik Ürünler which was established by Cihad Atasoy in 2004 as the 6th distributor of Jowat SE in Turkey to deal only with adhesives. In 2010, by establishing a partnership with Jowat SE, the company continued its activities under the name of Jowat Atasoy Yapıştırıcı Ürünler Tic. A.Ş. and by 2013, Jowat SE owned all the shares of the company.
