As the automotive industry races towards an electrified future, one of the key roadblocks to progress – cost-effective, large scale battery manufacture – is being rapidly dismantled by breakthroughs in battery design and assembly. In a new LinkedIn livestream series, experts from Henkel Adhesive Technologies share insights from the e-mobility market and the leading edge of battery assembly and design to take on any questions in an open discussion.

Henkel has been named a "Sustainability Champion" for its customized adhesive solutions for Debatin products. With the honor, Debatin, a leading producer of packaging materials, mailing bags and secure packaging, has recognized Henkel's focus on sustainability to provide a total package that is tailored to the customer and that supports their efforts to conserve resources. Debatin's packaging, bonded with Henkel products, is used successfully in a wide variety of sectors worldwide. The Sustainability Champion title, which is being awarded for the first time this year, honors a Debatin supplier for particular commitment in the categories of ecological, economic and social sustainability.
