The new factory is poised to optimize production lines and enhance capacity, focusing on the manufacture of renowned hair care products under brands such as Schwarzkopf, solidifying its role as a key hub for Henkel Consumer Brands. The factory is expected to significantly elevate the area's industrial output value.

Henkel, a Global Fortune 500 company headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, also launched its personal care manufacturing headquarters in the area and completed its acquisition of Suzhou Boke Biotechnology Co, a trusted local manufacturer for personal care products, on Feb 28.

By attracting a number of flagship and headquarters-level cosmetics leaders such as Henkel, Procter & Gamble, and Reckitt, the Taicang Port Economic and Technological Development Area is accelerating the development of the first cosmetics industry cluster base in Jiangsu province.
