Henkel, a global leader in adhesives, sealants, and functional coatings, and leading manufacturer of well-known consumer brands, celebrated the expansion of its manufacturing facility in Brandon, South Dakota. With an investment of approximately 30 million US Dollar and additional support from South Dakota’s government and economic development organizations, the site has doubled in size - from 35,000 to 70,000 square feet - enhancing its role as Henkel’s North American flagship for thermal management and adhesives solutions.

Henkel today announced the opening of its new Inspiration Center for Adhesive Technologies in Shanghai. With an investment of more than 60 million euros, the facility is designed to accelerate the development of impactful and sustainable solutions, foster deeper customer collaboration, and drive Henkel’s long-term growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

Tackling the thermal control demands of cutting-edge AI data center optical components, Henkel today announced the commercialization of Loctite TCF 14001, a high thermal conductivity silicone liquid thermal interface material ‏(TIM). Designed for 800G and 1.6T transceiver technologies, the 14.5 W/m-K gap filler is among the highest thermally conductive liquid materials on the market, enabling elevated transceiver performance through robust heat management.

The Henkel Packaging RecycLab has officially launched its operations in China. This specialized facility is dedicated to evaluating how adhesive solutions can drive innovation in packaging recycling and accelerate the transition to a circular economy. Through localized testing and process optimization, the RecycLab will enhance Henkel's capabilities in serving the Chinese and broader Asia-Pacific markets. A delegation led by LI Hua, Chairperson of the China Packaging Federation, visited the lab and jointly initiated the 2025 ‘Green Packaging Recycling China Tour’ with Henkel.
