Future? Ready!150 Years of Henkel

Rising thermal loads in vehicle electronics are increasing the need for high-performance thermal management solutions, especially in advanced applications such as ADAS, ECUs, or power conversion components in electric vehicles. To address this fast-evolving challenge, Henkel Adhesive Technologies has launched Bergquist Gap Filler TGF 6500LVO, a next-generation thermal gap filler with 6.5W/m∙K thermal conductivity. This new material enables more effective heat transfer in critical systems, helping manufacturers manage increasing power density and maintain performance and reliability.

Henkel was founded in 1876 and celebrates its 150th anniversary this year – a special milestone that draws attention to the company’s long and multifaceted history. In the run-up to this anniversary, Prof. Dr. Joachim Scholtyseck, Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at the University of Bonn, has conducted a comprehensive academic study of Henkel’s development over several years. In his independent research, he traces the company’s evolution from a local laundry detergent manufacturer to a publicly listed global company.
