World leading solution provider of adhesive, sealants and functional coatings, Henkel, received significant quality awards from Asian customers in 2014, adding trophies to the company’s impressive awards collection around the world.
"Awards granted by our customers are always an important affirmation of our performance,” said Jan-Dirk Auris, Executive Vice President Henkel Adhesive Technologies. "They also serve as a motivation for our teams to intensify their efforts in providing innovative, customised solutions to further drive our customers’ business.”
Henkel, know-how as a key ingredient in the production of diapers, feminine hygiene products and pet care products, has been partnering with Unicharm, a leading Japanese manufacturer of these products for more than 15 years. Recently, this key Henkel global account recognised Henkel with a Quality Award for being a business enabler with customised solutions and outstanding quality performance. Early in September 2014, it also awarded Henkel No 1 Best Supplier for superior quality and service. Japan-based Unicharm mostly has operations in the Asia Pacific region, to which Henkel’s Dragon Plant, the world’s largest adhesive plant, is uniquely positioned to fulfil its growing demand and customised needs.
Last year, this was just one example of numerous prizes from customers and institutions received by Henkel. Another example is the coveted Strategic Supplier Award recently granted by Singapore-based technology company Flextronics International Ltd., a leading manufacturer of electronic components. The Award recognises outstanding performance, strategic value-add, excellent service and innovation by suppliers that exemplify what it means to be a strategic supplier at Flextronics. Having an unyielding commitment to enable customer’s business exploring needs in Asia Pacific, this trend is apparently set to continue through 2015.
Headquartered in Shanghai, China, Henkel Adhesive Technologies Asia Pacific operates in many markets across the region including Greater China, Korea, Japan, South East Asia and Oceania. Henkel Adhesive Technologies is a leading solution provider for adhesives, sealants and functional coatings. It customises innovation-driven technologies for multiple industries to serve the diverse customer and market needs. Its comprehensive solutions under top-brands such as Loctite, Teroson, Bonderite, Technomelt and Aquence enable every possibility in packaging and consumer goods, transport and metals, general industry, electronics and building segments to create sustainable value for industrial customers, professional users and consumers. To meet the rising demand for adhesives in the Asia Pacific region, it established the world’s largest adhesives factory Dragon Plant in Shanghai, where it now develops advanced products and future technologies.
