Fritz Henkel_{A pioneer turns 175}

Henkel has officially opened its “J-beauty innovation hub” in Tokyo. The hub for the Hair Professional business will leverage the long-standing expertise of Schwarzkopf and Shiseido Professional in hair color innovation and trends as well as premium hair and scalp care, anti-hair loss, styling, and perm solutions.

As integrated circuits ‏(ICs) become more dense and complex, particularly in the power device sector, new approaches to die thermal control and electrical performance are required. Henkel today announced the availability of a die attach adhesive that provides high thermal capability to enable superior operation of power semiconductor packages. With 30 W/m-K thermal conductivity – among the market’s highest thermal performance without sintering – Loctite Ablestik 6395T is the latest in the company’s portfolio of high thermal solutions and allows integration of back-side metalized or bare silicon ‏(Si) die.

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.
