A common purpose among those at Henkel is to create sustainable value. As a recognised leader in sustainability, Henkel holds top positions in many international indices and rankings.

The company’s footprint in the Middle East has continually grown since 1998. As the consumer and customer proximities have been at the heart of the company’s strategy, Henkel was able to cater to the region from its regional headquarters located in Dubai. Persil, DAC, Pril, Fa, Pert, Schwarzkopf, Loctite, are just a few of the successful brands in the GCC owned by the company.

Dubai is also where Henkel has established R&D centres for two of their business units; laundry and home care and for its beauty care business. These innovation centres aim at designing products to meet specific expectations and needs of consumers and to anticipate future requirements. In addition, the company established a professional academy for hairdressers in Dubai and other countries of the region. The academy accompanies the haircare industry in its ambition of high-end consumer beauty services in UAE by providing professional trainings to hairdressers on latest haircare products and trends.

Henkel aims to continue to be a key player in the region and to continue leading with its brands and technologies.
