Henkel is strengthening its North American manufacturing footprint with a new facility for ATP Adhesive Systems in South Carolina, marking another significant step in its expansion of advanced bonding and sealing solutions.

 

The facility will serve a wide range of industries, including mobility, electronics, medical, and building and construction. By combining local manufacturing with technical expertise and product development capabilities, ATP aims to help customers accelerate qualification processes, shorten response times and secure more reliable long-term supplies.

 

The investment underscores Henkel's strategic push to expand beyond liquid adhesives and build a more comprehensive portfolio of bonding technologies.

 

Following its acquisition of ATP Adhesive Systems, Henkel strengthened its capabilities in high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesive technologies, reinforcing its position as a provider of integrated bonding and sealing solutions.

 

“Our customers are looking for reliable partners that help them solve increasingly complex manufacturing challenges,” said Paul Schwitter, Chief Commercial Officer, ATP Adhesive Systems. “With this new facility, we are creating closer collaboration opportunities, shorter lead times, and enhanced support for customers throughout their innovation and production journey.”

 

Built around advanced solvent-free manufacturing technologies, the South Carolina facility reflects ATP's and Henkel's commitment to delivering efficient, innovative and sustainable bonding solutions for modern manufacturing.

 

The new site complements ATP's established European operations while giving the business a stronger manufacturing presence in North America. It is expected to bring production closer to customers, enhance collaboration and improve supply chain responsiveness.

 

The facility also draws on Henkel's global scale, application knowledge and innovation capabilities to support customers across increasingly demanding industrial applications.

 

The opening marks another milestone in ATP's integration into Henkel Adhesive Technologies, reinforcing the group's focus on innovation, customer proximity and long-term growth.
