Henkel, the world’s leading adhesive manufacturer, announced a price increase for its products starting from June 30

It was recently learned that Henkel General Industries’ Manufacturing and Maintenance business Unit will increase product prices starting from June 30, 2024. For new orders and existing orders after June 30, the adjusted new prices will be applied.

Henkel’s reason for adjusting the product prices this time is that due to the continuous impact of energy prices, environmental protection costs and logistics costs, it has to reflect the increase in some supply chain costs in the pricing.

      Before Henkel announced the price increase of its products this time, another global adhesive giant, Bostik, announced that starting from April 15, 2024, it would raise prices accordingly in accordance with the terms and commitments of its adhesive (hot melt adhesive, hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive and water-based adhesive technology) contracts in the disposable hygiene products market and the paper packaging market. The reason for the price adjustment is also the result of the increase in manufacturing and transportation costs.
