Henkel is the leading solution provider for adhesives, sealants and functional coatings worldwide.
Henkel Beauty Care holds leading market positions worldwide, and its consumer products business is continuously expanding.
The Laundry & Home Care business unit is the cornerstone of Henkel’s success story: It all started with a product from this business sector.
At Henkel, we condemn the Russian war against Ukraine and the violence against innocent civilians. We stand behind the call of the global community on Russia to immediately withdraw its military forces from Ukraine.
Against the background of the current developments of the war in Ukraine, Henkel has decided to exit its business activities in Russia. The execution process is now being prepared. Henkel will work closely with its teams in Russia on the details to ensure an orderly process. In the meantime, Henkel’s 2,500 employees in Russia will continue to be employed and paid. The expected financial impact for Henkel resulting from the planned exit cannot be quantified at this time.
Henkel is expanding its production capabilities in Mexico by opening a new state-of-the-art plant for hot melt adhesives in Guadalupe, Nuevo Leon. With a size of nearly 30,000 square-meter the new facility has been designed to primarily manufacture pressure sensitive and non-pressure sensitive hot melts under the leading Technomelt brand. The products range from Henkel’s high-performance SUPRA product portfolio, designed for efficient bonding of substrates under extreme conditions, to Henkel's COOL portfolio, with a lower melting point compared to traditional hot melt adhesives (between 100°C and 120°C).
Henkel has launched the “Martha Schwarzkopf Award for Women in Science”, a new research award to support and recognize outstanding female scientists in the field of hair research. The three winners will receive a prize money and can benefit from mentoring opportunities such as an exchange with scientists or receive professional support from Henkel to advance their scientific work.
