Henkel adhesive sales up 50% in January

Henkel Romania, the local subsidiary of the German group Henkel, saw a 50% increase of its adhesive sales in January compared with the same time last year, thanks to the favourable weather at the beginning of the year. “The favourable weather for construction works seen at the beginning of the year pushed up the sales of the adhesive division by some 50% against the same time last year. The products in highest demand were the adhesives for the thermal-insulating system. February is also a dynamic month and we are expecting a significant increase,” stated Iulian Mangalagiu, business unit manager of Henkel Romaniaes adhesive division. The company will open four Ceresit showrooms for professionals this year. Henkel has recently inaugurated the first such showroom in Bucharest, following an approximately 150,000-euro investment. “We will continue to expand our showroom network, and our next store will be opened in Targu-Mures,” specifies Mangalagiu.
