    Henkel celebrated the 111th birthday of Schwarzkopf at a special gala in Munich.
    New Products: Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets, got2b magnetik styling gel, Dial Antioxidant Body Wash with Cranberry & Antioxidant Pearls, Terra Activ household cleaning products and laundry detergents.

    Comments: Henkel’s corporate sales in 2008 rose 8.1% to $20.7 billion. Laundry and home care product sales for the year were $6.1 billion, up 0.6%; cosmetics and toiletries were $4.4 billion, a gain of 1.5% over 2007 results. According to Kasper Rorsted, chief executive officer, business was more difficult in North America and Western Europe than in previous years, while in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia, the company continued to post strong growth in both sales and profits.

    Breaking down its global laundry and home care sales by product type, detergents accounted for 52% of 2008 sales, followed by cleaning products (35%), air fresheners (7%) and insecticides (6%).The company said sales rose nominally, despite the negative effects of foreign exchange. Organic growth came in at 3.8%, which Henkel said was primarily price-driven. While it did manage to increase organic sales in all regions, a large proportion of this growth was attributable to Europe/Africa/Middle East zone, according to company officials. Double digital growth rates were also recorded in some countries in Eastern Europe.

    Within laundry, the strongest growth came from Henkel’s heavy-duty detergents and fabric softeners. In home care, the main contributors to organic sales growth were dishwashing detergent and bathroom products. Sales of hand-dishwashing products rose in Africa/Middle East with Pril achieving double-digit percentage growth rates in a number of important companies. In bathroom products, growth in Eastern Europe outstripped that of the market as a whole, helping to increase its market share, according to the company.

    In cosmetics and toiletries, hair cosmetics and salon products represent 33% of Henkel’s sales in this sector, followed by skin care (30%), body care (26%) and oral care (11%). According to Henkel, organic sales rose 4.7%. In nominal terms, sales ticked up 1.5%, despite the removal of marginal activities in this sector and negative foreign exchange impact, the company said.

    In regard to R&D, Henkel’s expenditures in 2008 were approximately $639 million with laundry and home care accounting for 24% of the total and cosmetics and toiletries 15%. In January 2009, Phenion GmbH—a Düsseldorf-based firm that had operated as an independent department within Henkel’s R&D unit of cosmetics/toiletries business—became part of Henkel Group.

    Henkel remains committed to being green, regardless of how the global economy is faring. In its 2008 annual report, Albrecht Woeste said: “The positive impact of sustainable development is not economy-dependent. The benefits are there and remain tangible in both good and bad times.” Between 2004 and 2008, the company’s energy consumption (per ton of output) was down 11%, waste was down 30% and water consumption dropped 35%.

    Henkel’s Persil detergent
    The firm also has made strides when it comes to greener products, such as Purex Natural Elements, which won a Fritz Henkel Award for Innovation, which honors products that show clear-cut innovation and success in the marketplace. The innovative formulation combines excellent laundry power and performance with the best possible environmental compatibility. Also on the green front, Henkel rolled out Terra Activ household cleaner in October 2008. Its ingredients are, on average, 85% derived from renewable raw materials. In April 2009, Henkel added Terra Activ liquid laundry detergent, which is designed to deliver high levels of cleaning power at just 20°C, according to the company.

    “Only if the laundry is clean after the washing process can there be any payoff from an environmentally aware approach,” explained Thomas Tönnesmann, marketing manager for Henkel’s laundry and home care products in Germany.

    There were some changes in Henkel’s U.S.-based operations at the close of 2008. For starters, in November, Henkel sold off its stake in Ecolab Inc., an investment it held since 1989. The company received approximately $2 billion for its 67.1 million shares of common stock of the St. Paul, MN-based company, which provides cleaning, sanitizing, food safety and infection control products and services.Also at the end of 2008, Dial Corp. moved into its new North American Consumer Products facility, which houses 800 Henkel employees, including R&D and administrative staff.

    In personnel moves, as previously announced, Albrecht Woeste, chairman of the supervisory board and of the shareholders’ committee of Henkel AG & Co. KGaA will retire next month. Effective Sept. 18, Dr. Simone Bagel-Trah will be take over as chair.She’s the great-great-granddaughter of the company founder, Dr. Simone Bagel-Trah.
