Henkel has been a prominent landmark of “Düsseldorf Süden” – Düsseldorf South – since 1899 and has contributed significantly to its industrialization. The industrial park has developed and grown over the decades and offers the resident companies both a good site-integral infrastructure and exceptional transport communications.

The dense network of highways encompassing the site means that the local logistics service providers have everything they need for the implementation of individual concepts in goods transportation and warehousing embracing the principles of resource conservation and sustainability. The rail network operated by IDR Bahn links the companies in Düsseldorf South to the rail network of Deutsche Bahn (German Rail). Also near by is the Rhine port of Reisholz with its direct connections to Europe’s network of international waterways and the availability of efficient, safe and environmentally sound modes of transportation for both raw material and finished product. Finally, close proximity to the international air traffic hub that is Düsseldorf Airport constitutes a further significant advantage of the location. Taken as a whole, therefore, the industrial park offers outstanding logistics and communications to the benefit of all companies in the area.

In addition to Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, the 155 hectare (~ 385 acre) site is also home to companies such as Cognis, Ecolab, T-Systems, Sixt, Oleochemicals and Pulcra Chemicals. The activities of this community of enterprises cover the entire industrial value chain comprising research and development, manufacturing, distribution and services.

The Infrastructure Services unit of Henkel AG & Co. KGaA is the site operator and industrial services provider responsible for the industrial park and has for many years also made its wide-ranging portfolio available to external companies located on the site and its environs. Indeed, one of its biggest customers is Cognis.

Infrastructure Services provides tailored infrastructure and logistics solutions. And thanks to its ability to guarantee first-class performance at competitive prices, its offerings are in constant high demand.

With its extensive expertise accumulated over decades of service to the chemical and allied industries, Infrastructure Services has much to commend it as a partner to commerce and industry – one that is able to offer individual service packages aligned to the different requirements and circumstances of a broad range of customers.

Companies considering the prospect of moving to Düsseldorf Süden can be sure of a warm welcome from Henkel.
