Henkel Electronics Moves to New State-of-the-Art Headquarters in Irvine, California


Irvine, California, August 13, 2010 - Henkel's Adhesive Electronics business has relocated its headquarters to a new facility in Irvine, California which the company fully expects will help further its innovation initiatives.

The new 75,000 square foot building, located at 14000 Jamboree Road in Irvine, has been designed to accommodate the entire North American R&D team, consolidating staff and resources from three R&D sites under one roof. With over 30,000 square feet of state-of-the art laboratory space organized for maximum efficiency, customer collaboration and safety, Henkel's Irvine headquarters will most certainly promote the innovation spirit the company embodies.

"The advantages this new facility provides - the most important of which is the ability for our technical teams to be located together in one facility - will undoubtedly enable Henkel to innovate at an unprecedented pace," enthusiastically explains Dr. Michael Todd, Henkel Vice-President of Product Development and Engineering. "Our united R&D staff will have hands-on access to some of the most advanced semiconductor and SMT production equipment and research tools available, thus accelerating new product introductions. Indeed, this is good news for the industry as a whole."

As the headquarters for Henkel's electronics business, the Irvine facility will house multi-functional staff including executive management, inside sales, global marketing, global product management, operations, finance, R&D, advanced research, human resource, IT and applications.
