Many people know the Henkel Group as an adhesives manufacturer, although its origins lie in the consumer goods business – specifically in the production of detergents; today the range extends far beyond detergents and adhesives – Henkel’s products also include functional coatings and sealants.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

We at abovo, the Swiss specialist wholesaler and online store for cleanroom and ESD requirements, are proud to be an authorized distributor for adhesives, sealants and coatings from the Henkel electronics range and Henkel industrial range.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The Henkel story: From detergent to adhesive<\/h2>\n\n

The beginnings of the Henkel Group<\/strong> date back to 1876<\/strong>, when Friedrich Karl Henkel founded the Henkel & Cie detergent factory<\/strong> in Aachen (Germany). However, it took a few more years, until 1907, before Henkel introduced Persil, the detergent known to many today. <\/p>\n\n

The expansion of production at Henkel into the adhesives sector was born out of necessity. In 1922<\/g>, there was a supply shortage of adhesives that Henkel needed for gluing its own Persil packaging. So the Henkel chemists developed their own packaging adhesives, which were initially produced for the company’s own needs<\/g>. Just one year later, the company’s own glue was sold to a company next door. By 1928<\/strong>, Henkel adhesives<\/strong> were already being exported<\/strong> and today<\/strong> Henkel is the largest manufacturer of adhesives in the world<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

I<\/strong><\/a>n Switzerland, you can find Henkel adhesives at specialist wholesalers such as abovo.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n

In addition to its leading role in the adhesives industry<\/strong>, Henkel is still strongly represented in the consumer goods business<\/strong> today. The production of detergents by Henkel continues to this day, but Henkel is now also particularly well known in the cosmetics sector; many people are familiar with the hair cosmetics company Schwarzkopf, which Henkel took over in 1995. <\/p>\n\n

Which products contain Henkel, among others<\/h2>\n\n

Whether in cars, smartphones or giant wind turbines, adhesives are more widespread than many people think, and they are often adhesives from Henkel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Functional coatings, sealants and many other products are now also part of the Henkel range.<\/p>\n\n
