Henkel Adhesives Technologies India Private Limited (Henkel India) has announced the completion of Phase III of its manufacturing facility in Kurkumbh, near Pune, Maharashtra. Launched in 2020, the Kurkumbh site meets the increasing demands of Indian industries for high-performance adhesives, sealants, and surface treatment products. The new Loctite plant, named after Henkel's renowned brand, was inaugurated by Mark Dorn, Executive Vice President of Henkel Adhesive Technologies, along with other senior management members.
Since entering the Indian market in 1996, Henkel Adhesive Technologies has become a significant growth driver for the business. Henkel has consistently expanded its presence in India through strategic investments to meet rapid growth. Currently, the company operates five manufacturing sites, two innovation centers, a customer experience center, a packaging academy, and an application center for the footwear industry in India.
The new Loctite plant at the Kurkumbh site reflects Henkel's commitment to driving growth in the Indian market. The plant will serve Indian businesses, localize the product portfolio, and reduce dependence on imports.
