In aug. 2023 startte ik mijn sales stage bij Henkel, waar ik persoonlijk groeide en veel verantwoordelijkheden kreeg. De bedrijfscultuur, internationale carrièremogelijkheden en focus op duurzaamheid binnen Henkel spraken me zeer aan. Na mijn stage ben ik gebleven als Junior Category Manager.

A global leader in brands and technologies. To be a global leader in brands and technologies means that we strive to be the best in whatever we do.. First, to be a global leader means that our goal is to achieve at least the top three positions in each of our international markets and business segments, and to be a first mover in emerging markets with high potential for growth. We aspire to be a global leader in the degree of trust and appreciation we earn from both our industrial customers and our individual consumers. Second, we aspire to be a global leader in brands. We want our brands to be recognized for their strength, their quality, and their value. This includes all of our brands, in the business-to-business sector as well as our ‘household name’ brands in the business-to-consumer sector. Third, we aspire to be a global leader in brands and technologies– by striving constantly for innovations that enhance quality and provide greater value, to meet our customers’ current needs and to anticipate their future requirements.

Adhesives, sealants and surface treatments from Henkel Adhesives Technologies (U-A) are everywhere – at home, at school, in the office, on the building site and in the factory. They can be found in many objects that are manufactured, which touch our lives every day: cars, books and magazines, computers, aircraft, refrigerators, cell phones, furniture, shoes, textiles, packaging, and many more. Without our products and technologies such items would look different, not last as long, cost more to produce or simply be manufactured using traditional methods. Thanks to its people, brands and technologies, Henkel Adhesive Technologies has become a worldwide leader in bonding, sealing and surface treatments. As such we are able to embrace fully new trends, foresee new needs and provide the appropriate innovative solutions and sustainable products.
