Discover where a brand or product originates
Pritt is a globally recognized brand synonymous with stationary adhesives, most famous for inventing the world's first glue stick in 1969. The brand's origin is rooted in Germany, where the Henkel researcher Dr. Wolfgang Dierichs was inspired by the ease of a lipstick applicator to create a mess-free glue delivery system. Today, the product line has expanded beyond the original glue stick to include correction tapes, liquid glues, and adhesive rollers like the one pictured.
The Pritt brand remains a core part of the Henkel portfolio, a German multinational chemical and consumer goods company. While the brand's heritage is deeply German, manufacturing is distributed globally to meet regional demands, though high-precision components and specialty adhesives often remain centered in European facilities. As of 2026, Henkel continues to lead the brand under its Adhesive Technologies and Consumer Brands divisions, maintaining a focus on sustainable materials and solvent-free formulas.
