Henkel Consumer Brands

Henkel is a prominent global leader in the consumer and industrial sectors, originating from Germany. Founded in 1876 by Fritz Henkel in Aachen, the company has grown from a small family business into a multinational powerhouse. Today, the brand is synonymous with high-quality household and personal care solutions, encompassing iconic names like Persil, Schwarzkopf, and Dial.

Henkel operates a vast global manufacturing network with hundreds of production sites across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America to serve local markets efficiently. In 2023, the company underwent a significant strategic reorganization by merging its Laundry & Home Care and Beauty Care divisions into a single cohesive 'Consumer Brands' unit. This move was designed to streamline operations and foster innovation across its diverse portfolio. Henkel AG & Co. KGaA remains the ultimate owner, maintaining its headquarters in Düsseldorf, Germany, while continuing to be controlled by the descendants of the founding Henkel family.
