US-based Sonoco, a diversified global packaging company, has agreed to handle European packaging requirements for Henkel’s consumer adhesive products from Sonoco’s service center in Wroclaw, Poland.
Henkel corporate director of International Supply Chain, Consumer Adhesives Ralf Heumann said this partnership with Sonoco will allow them to more effectively serve the European markets for adhesives and sealants through consolidation and standardisation.
“We currently rely on several vendors to supply our packaging services, and our goal is to improve the efficiency of those operations by selecting a partner with the proven capabilities, resources and experience to manage the bulk of that business for us,” Heumann added.
Sonoco director of European Business Development Chris Hill said the company’s commitment to exceptional customer service, its ability to customise and expand packaging services for customers as needed, and its experience and reach globally make Sonoco a good fit for Henkel.
