ROCKY HILL, Conn. ― Henkel marked its 140th anniversary this week, with “Henkel Day” celebrations planned for 51 North American sites as well as locations worldwide. Beginning in 1876 as a small business in Aachen, Germany, the historic capital of the Carolingian Empire, Henkel moved to Dusseldorf and released its first consumer product, a “Cleaning Soda,” two years later. It got into the adhesives business in 1922 and made its initial public offering in 1985. The company has recently been recognized among Fortune’s “Most Admired Companies” and in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for 2016.
