Introduction to Henkel's Production Excellence

Henkel produces an impressive one million hair care products daily at its Maribor facility in Slovenia. This facility serves as the European Centre of Excellence for Hair Coloration and Hair Care Products, demonstrating Henkel’s commitment to quality and innovation in the competitive industrial automation landscape. By leveraging advanced printing technology from LEIBINGER, Henkel ensures the reliability and speed of its production processes.

Empowering Production with Advanced Coding Technology

Henkel's Maribor plant operates 22 production lines that can deliver up to 180 finished products per minute. To maintain such high throughput, the factory utilizes LEIBINGER JET3 UP printers for all essential product coding. Borut Suhadolnik, the PMO Production and Technical Director at Henkel Maribor, emphasizes the efficiency gained through networking these printers with the production information system. This setup simplifies the process, allowing for seamless delivery of print texts and reducing operational delays.

Enhancing Productivity with Seamless Printing Solutions

The robust design of LEIBINGER printers directly contributes to Henkel's productivity. These printers are characterized by their immediate startup and smooth operation. By incorporating the innovative 'Sealtronic' nozzle sealing technology, LEIBINGER printers eliminate traditional downtime caused by cleaning cycles associated with conventional CIJ printers. When not in operation, the nozzle forms an airtight seal, preventing ink from drying out and allowing for quick reactivation when printing resumes. This efficiency is crucial for maintaining high productivity rates in demanding environments.

LEIBINGER's Recognition as a Trusted Partner

Following the successful integration of LEIBINGER printers, Henkel recognized the company as a listed vendor on a global scale. Vojko Arzenšek from Adheziv d.o.o., LEIBINGER's sales partner in Slovenia, highlights the importance of fast, high-quality customer service and reliable supply chains in achieving this partnership success. This collaboration showcases the joint commitment to quality, innovation, and customer-centric solutions that defines both companies.

A Legacy of Excellence in Slovenia

Henkel's presence in Slovenia dates back over 30 years, evolving from a joint venture to a fully integrated member of the Henkel Group in 1997. Today, the Maribor facility plays a critical role in the company's global Consumer Brands Segment. The plant reflects agility and expertise in manufacturing complex hair care and styling products, solidifying Henkel’s status as a leader in industrial automation within the consumer goods sector.

Conclusion: The Future of Production at Henkel

With its commitment to sustainability and efficiency, the Henkel plant in Maribor exemplifies how advanced technologies, such as LEIBINGER printers, can streamline production processes. As industries evolve, the integration of reliable and user-friendly printing solutions will be essential in meeting growing global demands while maintaining high standards of quality and sustainability.
