In his nearly 30 years with Henkel, Alois Linder has been exceptionally successful in various functions. In 2002 he was appointed Executive Vice President Consumer and Craftsmen Adhesives.

In 2007 Alois Linder led the merger of the Henkel Adhesives and Technologies business sectors. Since then he has headed Henkel's largest business sector, that of Adhesives Technologies and is responsible for the integration of the Adhesives and Electronic Materials businesses to be acquired from National Starch.

Following the successful merger and the preparation of the forthcoming integration of the National Starch businesses, Alois Linder has asked the Shareholders' Committee to pass on his responsibilities to his successor effective October 1, 2008 rather than in 2009, when he would have reached retirement age.
