Henkel Laundry & Home Care Business
The Laundry & Home Care business unit is the cornerstone of Henkel’s success story: It all started with a product from this business sector.

The company’s first product was a laundry detergent based on sodium silicate, named “Universal-Waschmittel” (universal detergent). Since then, this branded consumer goods business has grown into a globally active unit with well-known brands, such as Persil, Purex or Pril.
