Welcome to Henkel Australia and New Zealand!

Henkel was the first global fast-moving consumer goods company to team up with social enterprise Plastic Bank one year ago. The goal: Collecting plastic waste before it enters the ocean. At the collection centers in Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world, the local population can return collected plastic waste and exchange it for money, goods, or services. The so called “Social Plastic” is then integrated back into the plastic value chain. Now for the first time, Henkel included this Social Plastic in its packaging.

Henkel today laid the corner stone for the new global innovation center of its Adhesive Technologies business at the company’s headquarters in Düsseldorf. The company invests more than 130 million euros to erect a state-of-the-art building. Once completed, the facility will allow more than 350 Henkel experts to develop new technologies and applications for a variety of industries. The building will also serve as a global customer center, where Henkel will present new solutions for adhesives, sealants and functional coatings. The opening of the innovation center is planned for the end of 2020.
