Connecticut site, with 27 unique laboratories and three pilot plants, is the company’s largest non-manufacturing capital investment in North America in the past decade.

Henkel has broken ground for a new Center of Research & Development in Trumbull, CT. The project represents its largest non-manufacturing capital investment in North America in the past decade, with a total value of more than $70 million.
The Henkel Center of Research & Development will bring together Henkel’s North America Consumer Brands R&D teams that are currently operating across three separate Connecticut locations.
The facility will span three buildings on more than 10 acres of land. Once finished, it will support more than 200 employees in 27 unique laboratories and three pilot plants.
Henkel will continue to operate its North America region headquarters at Rocky Hill, CT and its Consumer Brands regional office at Stamford, CT.
The new campus currently includes 30 and 4 Trefoil Drive. Henkel will add a new facility at 9 Trefoil Drive which will include a newly purchased, two-story, 45,000 square foot building that will serve as the campus hub. That building is designed to achieve LEED Gold certification.
When complete, the Henkel Center of Research & Development will house a range of functional groups, including hair, body, laundry and home care including product development, packaging, processing, microbiology, aalytical, product safety, regulatory affairs and more.
Henkel recently acquired haircare brand Not Your Mother’s and has had success in fabric care, including a recent award from the American Cleaning Institute, as reported by Happi.
“We are excited to begin this next chapter for Henkel Consumer Brands R&D in North America,” said Phil Schaffer, corporate SVP, Henkel Consumer Brands North America. “Innovation is deeply rooted in our DNA, and bringing our teams together will enable us to deliver transformative solutions that delight consumers and customers and have the potential to shape category trends. This significant investment underscores our long-term commitment to innovation, growth, and our talented teams in Connecticut.”
The new R&D site is scheduled to open at the end of 2027.
