Henkel, a German consumer goods manufacturer with its North American headquarters in Rocky Hill, purchased a two-story office building in Trumbull for $4.9 million, according to the city’s property records.
The Düsseldorf-based company plans to renovate the 42,750-square-foot building at 9 Trefoil Drive, according to minutes from a Dec. 17 Planning and Zoning meeting.
Proposed renovations include adding a patio and a smoking shelter, upgrading loading docks and installing new mechanical equipment and electric vehicle charging spots. Calls to Henkel, which operates research-and-development facilities at 4 and 30 Trefoil Drive and has corporate offices in Stamford, were not immediately returned.
