28/02/2012 /  Juodeliai cooperates with Lithuanian Labour Exchange

Since January 2011, the wood processing company UAB Juodeliai has maintained a close relationship with the Marijampolė Regional Labour Exchange. The company participates in the “Subsidised Employment” project organised by the Lithuanian Labour Exchange under the Ministry of Social Security and Labour. While participating in the project, UAB Juodeliai has become one of the companies that employs the largest number of people in the areas of the highest unemployment, i.e. the districts of Akmenynai and Jūrė, where the wood processing divisions of UAB Juodeliai are located. The internet site of the Lithuanian Labour Exchange regularly announces information about job vacancies in the company. Non-subsidised workers promoted by the labour exchange are also employed. They are provided an opportunity to work and gain experience in one of the most advanced wood processing companies in Lithuania.

UAB Juodeliai is a company that is willing and able to employ socially vulnerable and supported employees, ensuring permanent jobs and wages commensurate with performance. This involves work in a wood processing company that implements innovations in the production of wooden pallets, blanks, and elements and provides real professional development opportunities.

UAB Juodeliai has announced recently that some innovative and positive changes were implemented in the company this autumn. The company was certified to be in compliance with three international standards ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004, and OHSAS 18001:2007. Also, updates of the website were carried out.

The website provides up-to-date information as well as formally approved certificates of the standards. An expanded contact list will allow users to contact a proper manager of the company directly and immediately. UAB Juodeliai hopes that visitors of the updated website www.juodeliai.com will not be disappointed.

At the beginning of 2011, UAB Juodeliai began the implementation of an integrated management system.

The office ‘Veritas’ evaluated the UAB Juodeliai management system, and acknowledged the compliance with the requirements of the management system standards.

UAB Juodeliai has always, regardless of the implementation of the international standards, maintained its obligations to meet customer needs and expectations, to fully comply with the obligations to be assumed, and to provide the products that meet the agreed requirements. One of the values of the company is the maintenance of the world’s forest-management that is environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable. Furthermore, the company undertakes responsibility for its impact on the environment, and ensures to continuously improve its activities in order to avoid environmental pollution.

UAB Juodeliai has been systematically analyzing the results of its activities, and improving the work within the company; and, simultaneously improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the integrated management system. The implemented standards obligate the company to set new annual objectives and tasks; thus, to aim at a continuous improvement and maintenance of the standards’ relevance.

18/08/2011 /  Prospects for Pallet element Production for Autumn 2011

Pallet element production and sales planning are affected annually by Western European pallet manufacturers (for example, PAL and CP). From the first week of August, and into September, is the time when the majority of suppliers are decreasing their production, due to the vacations season and facilities renovations. Such factors are the main causes for the increase in inventory and the decline in demand. Additional factors that drew the attention of all producers were the results of the decline in financial indicators and in the credit rating of the USA. However, a continuous market analysis and close links with major partners allow us to relax even in the presence of these pressing issues. Foreign partners are informing that the recent “financial undulations“ do not directly influence their companies.

Major pallet-manufacturers are trying to maintain slightly reduced, but stable, production volumes. A continuous optimization of the production planning, as well as communication with clients, allow UAB Juodeliai to provide the continuation of the production supply without reducing the production/sales volumes. Active efforts with current potential customers are now providing optimistic hopes for the autumn 2011 trade perspective. Although the summer vacations season has not ended, there is an increase in production orders for the autumn – not only from regular customers, but also from potential new pallet element buyers.

A positive mood could also be created by the current news from the Far East. The market received the news about agreements between the EU and the People’s Republic of China, regarding the simplification of the international standard of phytosanitary measure labelling by ISPM-15 (“Instructions for Wood Packaging Material in International Trade”).
