Chicago, January 28, 2009 (word count: 262)
Novacel develops and produces adhesive films for temporary surface protection, used in the electronics, household appliances, automotive and building sectors. Joining the 60 subsidiaries, a new sales agency has just opened in the Czech Republic.

Novacel films may be applied onto surfaces as diverse as stainless steel, pre-coated metals, aluminum, as well as plastic, profiled or laminated materials. Throughout all processing (folding, stamping, profiling, etc.), handling, transport and laying stages, the film acts as a protective barrier towards external aggression, avoiding scratches, stains and more. Novacel is ISO 9001 and 14001-certified.

As part of its growth and customer-relations strategy, Novacel has established a sales agency in Prague, operational since March 2008.

Jaromir Behal is sales manager for the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Prior to this assignment, he spent 10 years as a sales agent for Novacel products in both countries. Mr. Behal may be contacted at:
