In fiscal year 2016, Darex annual sales reached USD 309 million (about 290 million euros). With the acquisition of Darex, Henkel Adhesive Technologies complements its technology portfolio, which brings great market opportunities and is conductive to a strong position as the global market and technology leader.

During CANNEX 2018 (May 15 to 18, 2018), Henkel showcased the product portfolios including post lubricant, cupper lubricant, coolants, cleaner, functional coating and sealant for aluminum cans, tin plate cans, food cans, aerosol cans, aluminum tubes, can enders and crown capsEquipment as well as the efficient and sustainable solutions across the metal can value chain were also showcased.

"During Cannex 2018 we noticed the growing presence of laminating machinery makers for metal packaging. As the leader of adhesive, sealant, and functional coating, Henkel will certainly look for opportunities to participate in this emerging segment, including but not limited to cooperation with the equipment manufacturers. In fact, we have engaged in some interesting conversations around this topic during this CANNEX show. We also noticed the emerging bottle cans in China. It is still early in the development to predict whether a widespread consumer will be willing to pay premium for its more convenient and functional (recloseable) format. Henkel Metal Packaging has readied itself to support can makers with lubricant and washer products for bottle can applications and will also work with ROPP caps maker to develop suitable closure sealants," Andrianto Jayapurna, Head of Asia-Pacific Business, Henkel Metal Packaging said.
