Somat Excellence 5in1 dishwasher capsules

Somat is a well-established brand in the automatic dishwashing detergent market, originally launched by Henkel in Germany in 1962. It was notably the first detergent in Germany specifically designed for automatic dishwashers, positioning the brand as a pioneer in the industry. The Excellence 5in1 line represents their premium offering, combining multiple cleaning agents and shine enhancers into a single capsule.

The product is part of the extensive portfolio of Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, a major German multinational company headquartered in Düsseldorf. Manufacturing for the European market often takes place in various Henkel facilities across the continent; based on the specific factory codes visible on this packaging, this unit was produced at their facility in Serbia. As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, Henkel remains the ultimate owner, maintaining its status as a global leader in both the adhesive technologies and consumer brands sectors.
