News from Madem Euromadem, located in Calaf, Barcelona, Spain was officially recommended by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) to receive the ISO 9001 designation for the manufacture of wooden and plywood reels. Euromadem launched operations in 2006 and today is one of the largest reels suppliers in Spain and Portugal, providing logistics, just-in-time, and recycling services. Leandro Mazzoccato, corporate sales and marketing director, said: “The ISO 9001 designation is an important tool for excellence in service for our customers in Spain and Portugal. We will practice continual improvement in our quality system for the benefit of our valued customers.” Roger Santasusana, general manager of Euromadem, agreed: “We are very satisfied to have implanted ISO standards in record time, a sign that we were on the right track. Now we will be sure to maintain our quality system and continual improvement processes to ensure a quality product and satisfied customers.” On 12 th May 2010, Madem Reels USA, located in Chattanooga, TN sold all assets to the Sonoco Group headquartered in South Carolina. According to Gino Mazzoccato, president of Madem Group, the sale of assets to Sonoco hails the return to an old strategic partnership formed in 2000. It is thought that the deal will strengthen both companies, keeping them competitive during a very difficult time of high raw material costs in lumber and steel and low demand. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Madem Group has forests, sawmills, plywood plant and manufacturing plants in Brazil, Spain, Bahrain and Romania with more than 600 employees and produces more than 500 containers/trucks of knock down reels per month. Euromadem Spain is a subsidiary company of Madem SA Brazil.
