Bodo Möller Chemie Expands Strategic Partnership with Henkel

Since summer 2025, the Bodo Möller Chemie Group and Henkel have expanded their distribution partnership for automotive components to include additional European markets. The collaboration now extends to Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, and the Benelux countries. This expansion is designed to enhance customer proximity significantly in these regions and to support tier suppliers more effectively through an expanded product and service portfolio.

With the expansion of their existing distribution partnership in the automotive components segment, Bodo Möller Chemie Group and Henkel are strengthening their presence across the Benelux region and Southern Europe. In these markets, Bodo Möller Chemie provides customers with tailored solutions and comprehensive advisory services from a single source—ranging from bonding and sealing to corrosion protection, as well as a full portfolio of materials designed to support highly efficient manufacturing processes. The Henkel portfolio, which includes the brands LOCTITE®, TEROSON®, TECHNOMELT®, BONDERITE®, and AQUENCE®, is applied across a wide range of automotive applications covering the four core vehicle systems: interior, exterior, chassis, and powertrain. Through this offering, the partnership serves automotive suppliers as well as manufacturers of buses and special vehicles.

“Our successful partnership with Henkel in Central and Eastern Europe laid the groundwork for this next step. The new agreement is a core element of our growth strategy, enabling us to bring our solutions expertise gainfully to other markets,” affirms Frank Haug, Bodo Möller Chemie Group CEO.

“Custom-fit solutions and comprehensive service are especially crucial in the automotive industry. We’re now offering precisely this from a single supplier in the new markets too,” adds Andreas Moser, Bodo Möller Chemie Sales Director.

As a solutions provider, Bodo Möller Chemie offers its clients guidance and support for everything, from the selection of suitable adhesives and sealants and technical project execution through to engineering, qualification, and troubleshooting. The expanded partnership also enhances the entire distribution and service network in Europe, uniting client proximity with technical expertise.

“With Bodo Möller Chemie, we have an experienced partner assisting us who understands our products and uses technical expertise effectively for clients,” states Martina Mauermann, Channel Manager Automotive Adhesive Europe at Henkel.
