The maker of Dial soap and Right Guard anti-perspirant and other consumer products has moved its corporate headquarters and 80 new jobs to Rocky Hill with the help of an $825,000 state loan.
Gov. M. Jodi Rell said the State Bond Commission meets April 24 and is expected to approve funds for the loan to defray the costs of Henkel of America’s move.
Henkel already had a facility in Rocky Hill, where about 335 people produce the Loctite brand of adhesive products. The company moved its headquarters from Gulph Mills, Pa.
The new jobs in Rocky Hill include corporate accounting, human resources, legal and chief administrative officer positions.
