The Staindisk is introduced. 98% of all existent persistent stains can be removed with the aid of the instructions on this Staindisk! This disk caught the attention from the industry with its clear and simple text. Since James provides honest information (most fresh stains can be removed with just plain tap water!), more and more manufactures are interested in James.

The Staindisk is supported by a telephone number, which one can call for further information. Edel is the first carpet manufacturer to engage in a co-operation with James, and adds the Staindisk to each carpet sold.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\nTherefore James starts with workshops on these subjects. The workshops are meant for manufacturers, suppliers and the sales people (retailers). The participants learn about maintenance and stain removal of carpets, rugs and upholstery in a practical manner.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

James builds its first website in the year 2001, www.james.nl. The website is available in Dutch, English, and German language and is purely informative. \nA large database is installed which contains many simple solutions for common stains. Via the website we receive many questions about certain stains, for which no answer is available immediately. James starts with testing these stains in its own laboratory. The solutions for these stains are put online in the database and can be found by using the search engine.

Also exports to Europe are being optimized.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In the year 2003 export is expanded to Finland, Ireland and Cyprus. Two new languages (Finnish and Greek) are added to the website, the Staindisk, the labels of the products and the supportive telephone lines. Co-operations are initiated with furniture manufacturer Leolux, carpet manufacturer Bonar Floors and rug manufacturer Karpi.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

For the first time, James tests carpets on cleaning possibilities. From several manufactures all qualities are checked. The collected information is converted to a personal maintenance advice. This personal advice can be downloaded by a dealer through our website.\n\n

The website of James, www.james.nl, is fully restyled. The website is even more informative than before and contains among others a database of solutions for hundreds of different stains. Furthermore, there is a database of more than 1000 carpets, rugs and upholsteries which have been tested on cleaning possibilities.

\nMore and more workshops are organised in Europe. Many sales people have regained their faith in selling carpets and upholstered furniture and are no longer afraid for questions about maintenance and stain removal.

Finally in 2004, initial contacts are made for possible export to China.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\nJames develops, in cooperation with Fainox Stainless Steel, the Quality Maintenance Control, QMC-007. This testing machine enables us to test carpets and furnishing fabrics in a standardized, mechanical way for cleaning, maintenance and durability.

In 2008 James was selected with QMC-007 by a jury of the last five companies for the MKB Limburg Innovation Award. With this globally unique testing machine, maintenance can be objectively mapped out for each carpet or upholstery fabric. James got second! The jury report showed that James was considered a unique company with a fresh way of doing business. People were impressed by the knowledge accumulated and the fact that we implement so many innovative ideas with so few people.

\nThe LIOF and the Economic Affairs department of the Province of Limburg are taking a closer look at James regarding her drive to make the packaging of James products cradle-to-cradle.

\nJames expands her online reach and goes from James.nl to James.eu! <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This allows more advanced vacuum nozzles to be produced, which can not only more efficiently remove dust from carpets and upholstery fabrics through optimal aerodynamics, but also consume considerably less electricity with constant or even improved performance.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Our unique fibre protector James Fibre Protector Eco is released in a consumer version as a 500ml spray bottle. This is the ultimate odourless and harmless alternative to existing fibre protectors on the market. With the same effect, without harmful substances. Suitable for all materials.

\n\nA collaboration with wholesaler Royal Peitsman was also set up this year. They proactively engage with James and manage to convince many new customers of James. <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

James in 2022<\/h5>
The year 2022 finally marks the launch of the new website. The postive news: it was well worth the wait! Even more information is even easier to access for everyone worldwide. As always, the James website is readily available in four languages: Dutch, French, German, English.

A lot of new, interesting projects are once again in the pipeline, more on that in 2023.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
