The visit to the ICD was insightful and refreshing. It made me think of all possibilities on how we can leverage Henkel's capabilities and use them to our CGM technology.

Inspiration Center Düsseldorf in a nutshell

Inspiration Center Düsseldorf highlights

Every 6 months, our temporary exhibitions will inspire you with cutting-edge examples from different industries and markets. This time, a Digital Healthcare exhibit focuses on our innovative solutions in medical electrodes and smart patches, glucose management, moisture sensors, and skin adhesives. We also showcase how we are pioneering circular and sustainable sportswear.

Discover the mega trends that are shaping our world and businesses through physical and digital exhibits. Each exhibit provides a practical example of how our solutions can be leveraged to overcome the technical challenges coming along with the mega trend at hand, and as a result enable safer, more reliable, more cost-efficient, and more sustainable designs.

Be inspired by a digital, interactive 270° experience and discover our broad technology portfolio and innovative strength.
The interactive design allows us to tailor your visit by demonstrating and linking your business to our technology expertise, which spans 800 industry segments, 20,000 applications and more than 10,000 solutions.

Experience the first automated lab in the adhesive industry: an advanced, data-driven laboratory that automatically prepares, tests and screens new formulations. Connected to our Automated Lab is a cloud-based digital platform that captures the entire material development process. Each function facilitates the collection and analysis of clean, harmonized data, thereby enabling shorter development timelines.

In our Consumer Adhesives Inspiration Hub, we provide an inspiring space and means for deep dive into solutions we offer, products we market and knowledge we carry. Here, tailored to your visit, we showcase our capabilities and portfolio and work with you to develop new solutions that better support consumers in their projects. What's special about this is that you can touch and test our solutions on site.

Learn how we are expanding our general manufacturing and MRO portfolio to include data-driven IIOT solutions for the process industry, such as predictive maintenance and smart chemistry. Our customers benefit from continuous monitoring and reducing manual inspections, lowering costs by reducing unplanned downtime, increasing sustainability and reducing SHE risks, as well as protecting the operator's reputation and avoiding catastrophic failures, among other benefits. In addition, Henkel sealants and Sonderhoff Formed-in-Place-Foam-Gasketing (FIPFG) technology provide tailored solutions for mass production to protect internal systems from harmful contaminants.

Get inspired on how we shape innovations based on long-term and trusting partnerships with our 130,000 customers from all industries. To this end, we regularly invite our strategic partners to our Inspiration Center Düsseldorf and promote the open exchange of ideas. Our customers benefit from strengthened relationships and market positions, knowledge sharing and expansion of competencies, development of solutions that can only be worked out together, as well as improved customer solutions and shorter time-to-market.

Learn how we build process simulations using industrial equipment for future innovative products with the help of our 4 technology centers. Customers benefit from the development of algorithms used for the introduction of AI to replace operators (e.g. Smart Edge) and Henkel Connect tools with the aim of providing application support to customers via remote control.

The Battery Engineering Center is Henkel’s innovation hub for E-Mobility applications. It comprises two high-tech facilities: the Battery Application Center, where we collaborate with our customers on next-generation material solutions, and the remote Battery Test Center dedicated to active battery testing and material behavior analysis.

Discover how we create data-driven solutions through formulation, printing and innovating within the Lab of Printing Technologies. By printing technologies, we mean 3D Printing, Printed Electronics and Electrically Conductive Adhesives (ECA). In this lab, new design ideas are turned into digital 3D and 2D manufacturing innovations, leveraging Henkel's advanced materials science and automation capabilities.
