Henkel India moves to Stelda’s Hotmelt Case Sealing for a Smarter, Sustainable Future.
Henkel Adhesive Technologies India, the world leader in adhesives, recently achieved a remarkable milestone in sustainable packaging — and the driving force behind it? Stelda’s Hotmelt Case Sealing Automation system.
Let’s dive into the inspiring journey of how Henkel, a global adhesive giant, transformed its packaging lines using Stelda ECOSEAL CORE: PS20 Case Sealer — a custom-engineered innovation that not only sealed cartons but also sealed Henkel’s commitment to sustainability, efficiency, and excellence.
Henkel’s Unique Edge — A Global Adhesive Pioneer
Henkel stands tall as a world leader in adhesive manufacturing. The company’s innovative spirit goes beyond bonding materials — it bonds innovation with sustainability. Their core mission? To make packaging smarter, cleaner, and more sustainable.
One of their standout achievements lies in reducing GSM (grams per square meter) — effectively lightweighting cartons without compromising strength or durability. This not only cut down material costs but also supported their long-term sustainability vision.
Another game-changing initiative was the elimination of BOPP tapes, replacing them with glue-sealed shippers — a move that significantly reduced single-use plastic waste.
“One of our biggest customers in hygiene care accepted glue-sealed shippers instead of BOPP tapes,” shared Henkel proudly.
That single decision changed the trajectory of packaging practices for one of the world’s top hygiene brands — and it began right here at Henkel’s Pantnagar facility.
