Henkel is a German consumer and industrial goods company best known for making adhesives, sealants, and household products. On the consumer side, it sells laundry detergents, fabric care, and other home and personal care brands that are used in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms around the world.

The company also has a larger industrial business that sells adhesives and surface-treatment products to manufacturers. These products are used in cars, electronics, packaging, construction, and consumer goods, where customers need materials that hold, bond, protect, or improve production processes.

Henkel makes money by selling branded products to shoppers and by supplying specialty chemicals and adhesive systems to business customers. Its business model is different because it sits in two places at once: it sells everyday consumer brands, and it also supplies hard-to-replace materials that are built into other companies’ products and factories.
