Henkel, a global leader in adhesives, sealants, and functional coatings, and leading manufacturer of well-known consumer brands, celebrated the expansion of its manufacturing facility in Brandon, South Dakota. With an investment of approximately 30 million US Dollar and additional support from South Dakota’s government and economic development organizations, the site has doubled in size - from 35,000 to 70,000 square feet - enhancing its role as Henkel’s North American flagship for thermal management and adhesives solutions.

Henkel today announced the opening of its new Inspiration Center for Adhesive Technologies in Shanghai. With an investment of more than 60 million euros, the facility is designed to accelerate the development of impactful and sustainable solutions, foster deeper customer collaboration, and drive Henkel’s long-term growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

In line with its  Sustainability Ambition 2030, Henkel Adhesive Technologies is continuously enhancing the transparency of the environmental impact of its products. This commitment, known as end-to-end transparency, is based on reliable data and consistent measurement methodologies aligned with internationally recognized standards. As part of this approach, Henkel`s construction adhesives business is offering an increasing number of Environmental Product Declarations ‏(EPDs). These declarations provide detailed insights into the environmental footprint of individual products, enabling both Henkel and its customers to make more informed decisions and identify opportunities for continuous sustainability improvements. 

The challenges of e-commerce continue to grow: increasing shipping volumes, rising material and logistics costs, and the need for more sustainable packaging solutions are putting pressure on companies. Henkel's white paper "The perfect fit – Packaging Automation in e-commerce” now provides sound guidance for companies looking to optimize their packaging processes.
