Henkel, a global leader in industrial and consumer goods, has consolidated its operations at the Singapore Science Park, establishing a new innovation hub. This strategic move brings together Henkel’s Global Supply Chain Hub, Adhesive Operations Digital team, and the Academy of Hair under one roof, enhancing its service capabilities across Asia-Pacific and beyond.
The new facility, located at Geneo, Singapore Science Park, features an expanded Adhesives Application Engineering Laboratory. This lab supports customers in sectors such as general manufacturing, maintenance, and electronics. Mark Dorn, Executive Vice President of Adhesive Technologies, stated, “The opening of our new Singapore office underscores Henkel’s commitment to building a strong, future-ready foundation in Asia Pacific.”
Henkel’s hub is set to play a pivotal role in the company’s global operations. Thomas Holenia, President of Henkel Singapore, noted that the hub will act as a “critical control tower” for Henkel’s businesses, integrating supply chain, innovation, and digital capabilities to better serve customers and accelerate market solutions.
The facility also houses the Henkel SEA Electronic Adhesives Technical Centre, which supports key growth segments like semiconductors and consumer electronics across Southeast Asia. The centre has consistently grown year-on-year, offering advanced capabilities such as material characterisation and failure analysis.
Additionally, the Academy of Hair provides a platform for professional learning in the hair industry, offering courses in colouring, cutting, and salon management. This initiative aims to empower professionals and foster a connection with the wider hair community.
Henkel’s move to Singapore Science Park marks a significant step in its 40-year presence in Singapore, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and sustainable solutions in the region.
