Henkel portfolio brands

Henkel AG & Co. KGaA is a global powerhouse with a rich history originating in Germany.

Today, Henkel operates globally, producing its highly successful brands across nearly every continent to serve local markets efficiently.

The brand remains under the significant influence of the Henkel family, which maintains a majority of the voting shares, ensuring the heritage and long-term vision of the original founder remain intact. While the company is publicly traded on the DAX, its heart and strategic headquarters remain in Dusseldorf, Germany, overseeing a vast empire that includes world-renowned names like Persil, Schwarzkopf, and Loctite.
