Henkel awards its ‘outstanding partners’

Close collaboration with strategic suppliers is a key success factor for Henkel Adhesive Technologies to drive powerful innovations and provide best-in-class service to its customers. The company recognises outstanding performance with three annual awards: ‘Supply Performance’, ‘Supplier Innovation’ and ‘Supplier Sustainability’.
