Henkel Adhesive Technologies customised solutions recognised in Asia Pacific

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.
