Loctite Super Glue

Loctite is a globally recognized brand synonymous with high-performance adhesives, sealants, and surface treatments. The brand was originally founded in the United States in the 1950s by Dr. Vernon Krieble, a chemistry professor at Trinity College who developed a unique anaerobic sealant that cured in the absence of air. This innovation revolutionized mechanical assembly by preventing fasteners from loosening due to vibration.

In 1997, Loctite was acquired by the German consumer goods giant Henkel AG & Co. KGaA. Under Henkel's stewardship, Loctite has expanded its product range to include consumer super glues, industrial-grade bonding agents, and medical adhesives. Manufacturing for Loctite products is decentralized, occurring in numerous facilities across Europe, North America, and Asia to serve regional markets efficiently. Today, Henkel remains the ultimate owner, managing the brand from its headquarters in Düsseldorf, Germany.
