Henkel AG & Co. KGaA - 汉高

Henkel AG & Co. KGaA is a diversified German chemicals and consumer-goods group headquartered in Dusseldorf, Germany, founded in 1876. Henkel operates through two main business units, Consumer Brands (laundry, home care, and personal care) and Adhesive Technologies, and its shares trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange via Xetra under the DAX-listed preference-share ticker HEN3 and ordinary-share ticker HEN.

Within Adhesive Technologies, Henkel runs an Equipment business line, marketed under the LOCTITE brand, that manufactures automated dispensing systems for applying adhesives, sealants, and potting compounds on production lines, including systems built as robots. Its named LOCTITE RB40 D-Series is a benchtop three-axis dispensing robot offered in several work-envelope sizes, including 200 by 200 by 100 millimeters, 300 by 300 by 100 millimeters, 400 by 400 by 100 millimeters, and 500 by 500 by 100 millimeters, integrating a LOCTITE dispenser and curing unit with a teach-pendant programming interface. The LOCTITE RB15 200D is a gantry-style overhead dispensing robot with a 200 by 200 millimeter work envelope, positioned above the work area for high-speed repetitive dispensing. A further product, the LOCTITE RB10, is a rotary dispensing system optimized for circular and rotational adhesive-application patterns, described by Henkel as compact enough for direct integration into production lines, with target industries listed as electronics, automotive, and consumer-goods assembly.

Henkel's Equipment catalog also lists single- and dual-cartridge dispensing systems, controllers and dispensing valves, and hot-melt and UV/visible-light curing systems, sold alongside the LOCTITE line of instant, structural, and thermal-management adhesives that these systems are designed to dispense. The company frames this combination of equipment, adhesive materials, and application expertise as a complete assembly-automation offering for customers building automated or robotic production lines, rather than positioning itself as a general-purpose industrial-robot manufacturer.

Outside of this equipment and robotics-adjacent line, Henkel's overall business remains centered on adhesives, sealants, functional coatings, and branded consumer products such as laundry detergents and hair-care lines; the dispensing-robot activity described above represents one identifiable business line within the larger Adhesive Technologies unit rather than the company's core business. Because the entity exhibiting at WRC 2026 is the global parent, this profile is filed under the parent corporate name, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, with operational facts limited to what could be verified on Henkel's own equipment and investor-facing pages.
