Laundry & Home Care
Henkel established its Laundry & Home Care division in North America with an acquisition in 2004. The acquisition manufactured and sold such well known consumer products as Purex® laundry detergent, Renuzit® air fresheners, Soft Scrub® household cleaners, and Combat® insecticides.
A key element in Henkel’s growth is the development of innovative new products. During the past years, new products have included award winning launches and innovative marketing campaigns.
