Description: HEN Henkel & Co. KGaA December 17, 2025
Henkel AG & Co. KGaA (XETRA:HEN) operates two core divisions: Adhesive Technologies, which supplies adhesives, sealants and functional coatings to packaging, consumer goods, mobility, electronics, construction and professional markets; and Consumer Brands, covering hair-care, body-care, laundry-care, dish-care and household cleaning products sold via retail, salons and e-commerce channels across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas and Asia-Pacific.
In FY 2023 the group generated €23.0 billion in revenue, with the Adhesive Technologies segment contributing roughly 55 % and delivering an adjusted EBIT margin of 13.5 %, while Consumer Brands accounted for 45 % of sales with a margin near 9 %. Key economic drivers include the cyclical demand for industrial adhesives tied to automotive and electronics production, and the relatively defensive nature of consumer-care sales that benefit from demographic growth in emerging markets and a shift toward premium, sustainable products. Recent ESG initiatives-such as a target to cut CO₂ emissions by 30 % per ton of product by 2030-are increasingly influencing procurement decisions in both segments.
