Semarang site broadens technical support
The center covers approximately 1,400 square meters and includes application laboratories, testing equipment and collaboration spaces. Henkel said the facility will help customers accelerate product development, improve speed to market and strengthen technical services while supporting sustainability goals.
Corbett Wallace, corporate vice president of the Consumer Goods Business at Henkel Adhesive Technologies, said the center expands the company's innovation footprint in Indonesia and reflects its long-term commitment to customers and the industry.
