Henkel has opened a new Application Center in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, strengthening its support for the consumer goods industry in the country. Located in one of Indonesia’s key manufacturing regions, the facility serves as a hub for application development, testing, technical support, and customer training. The location enables closer collaboration with customers and faster development of solutions tailored to local market needs. The opening marks another milestone in Henkel’s long-term investment in Indonesia, complementing its existing manufacturing sites in Tangerang and Pasuruan, as well as its regional Innovation Center in Bintaro.
Spanning approximately 1,400 square meters, the center features dedicated application laboratories, specialized equipment and testing capabilities, collaboration spaces for customer projects, and training facilities for technical education and capability-building programs.
The new facility will serve consumer goods adhesives customers across a range of segments, with a particular focus on footwear and fashion. It will support three key areas: accelerating product development, improving speed-to-market through enhanced technical services, and supporting customer sustainability goals.
