(PRESS RELEASE) DÜSSELDORF, 21-Apr-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Henkel has introduced a new global initiative aimed at strengthening the role of threadlocking technologies in modern industrial assembly. The program, titled “Reliability Begins Here,” is a multi-year effort led by its Adhesive Technologies division to increase awareness, understanding, and adoption of Loctite threadlockers across global manufacturing sectors.

As industrial operations become more complex and performance expectations continue to rise, the initiative underscores the importance of threadlockers in maintaining assembly integrity, reducing mechanical failures, and ensuring long-term operational stability. The program combines technical education, practical demonstrations, and storytelling to provide employees, customers, and partners with a deeper understanding of how to achieve consistent and reliable results in a wide range of applications.

The ‘Reliability Begins Here’ campaign is designed to elevate awareness, understanding, and adoption of Loctite threadlockers.

Stefan de Diego, Corporate Vice President of General Manufacturing and Maintenance at Henkel, highlighted the strategic importance of threadlocking solutions within the company’s broader portfolio. He noted that the initiative reflects Henkel’s ongoing commitment to delivering dependable performance, advancing innovation, and supporting customers with the expertise required to enhance reliability in their operations.

The program is also aligned with Henkel’s continued investment in advanced technologies, including Loctite Pulse, an industrial Internet of Things solution designed to monitor the condition of rotating equipment. Together with threadlocking solutions, these technologies enable a more proactive approach to maintenance, helping organizations anticipate issues and improve overall system performance.

Key elements of the initiative include the rollout of a unified global platform focused on reliability and assembly performance in critical applications, as well as the introduction of new technical tools and resources. These are intended to assist customers in selecting and applying the most suitable solutions with greater confidence. The program also expands educational content aimed at engineers and manufacturers, supporting efforts to improve productivity, consistency, and operational efficiency.

By standardizing its approach across markets, Henkel aims to ensure that customers worldwide benefit from a consistent level of expertise and support. Through this initiative, the company continues to reinforce its position in the industrial assembly sector, focusing on technologies that enhance durability and performance in environments where reliability is essential.
