In a significant milestone for South Africa’s maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) industry, Nordbak is proud to announce its acquisition by global adhesives & consumer brands company Henkel. This strategic move not only reinforces Henkel’s commitment to the region but also positions Nordbak to deliver even greater value to our customers across the mining, infrastructure, petrochemical, and industrial sectors.
For over three decades, Nordbak has been synonymous with durability and innovation, offering a trusted range of solutions from abrasion-resistant linings to epoxy-based crusher backing and corrosion protection coatings. These technologies have played a vital role in keeping South Africa’s toughest industries running efficiently. Now, as part of the Henkel family, Nordbak is poised to elevate its impact even further.
Henkel’s decision to invest in Nordbak is a strong vote of confidence in the future of the local MRO sector. South Africa’s critical industries – particularly mining and infrastructure – require reliable, high-performance solutions to maintain uptime and extend the life of essential assets. With Henkel’s support, Nordbak will be able to accelerate product development, enhance technical services and scale its reach further.
With our operations in Wadeville, Kathu and Phalaborwa, Nordbak’s on-the-ground presence is well aligned with Henkel’s long-term strategy to grow regional capabilities and support industrial resilience. “Joining the Henkel family marks an exciting new chapter for Nordbak,” said Mark Beyl, General Manager Nordbak South Africa. “We’re proud of the legacy we’ve built in South Africa. This next step allows us to continue serving our customers with the same excellence and responsiveness they’ve come to expect – now backed by a global innovation powerhouse.”
As we move forward, our customers can expect the same trusted NORDBAK® products & services which will be enhanced through global innovation, broader expertise, and a sharpened focus on sustainability. Together with Henkel, we’re not just maintaining infrastructure – we’re strengthening it for generations to come.
