Henkel, a German multinational consumer goods company, announced the opening of its new supply chain planning hub in Barcelona, creating 120 qualified jobs.
The hub serves the Consumer Brands business line and supports Henkel's European detergent and cosmetics operations across 30 distribution centers in 20 countries. The initiative began over the past year and a half, culminating in the launch on 22 April 2026.
The expansion reflects Henkel's commitment to strengthening its operational capabilities in Europe. By enhancing supply-chain planning and coordination, the hub aims to improve efficiency and support the group's value-chain across the continent. All new hires are based in Barcelona, with the new hub positioned in the city’s industrial district.
