On Thursday, September 7, Henkel celebrated the official inauguration of its new North American Consumer Goods headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. The move to this new location is another important step in the successful integration of The Sun Products Corporation, which Henkel acquired in 2016. This acquisition elevated Henkel to a strong number two position in the North American laundry market.
“This is a very special day for Henkel; it is more than just the inauguration of a new office, it is a true milestone for Henkel,” said Henkel CEO Hans Van Bylen at the official inauguration ceremony. With more than 155,000 square feet, the new Consumer Goods headquarters is home to Henkel’s Laundry & Home Care and Beauty Care businesses. The newly-renovated space also houses administrative functions. Later in the year, a new research and development facility and Customer Experience Center for Beauty Care will be opened at this location. In total, Henkel expects more than 500 employees will work in Stamford by 2018.
