Thomas Geitner (53), who has been a member
of the Henkel Management Board  since March 1,  2008,  will  assume  
responsibility  for  the  Adhesives  Technologies business sector, 
effective mid-June. As  already  announced  in  February  2008, Alois
Linder (60), Executive Vice President Adhesives Technologies, will  
resign from his office at his own request.
"The integration process of the recently acquired National Starch 
businesses has started excellently. Alois Linder's decision to hand 
over his office at an earlier date is an important step to maintain 
both the speed and continuity of this major project," says Kasper 
Rorsted, Chief Executive Officer of Henkel. "My special thanks go to 
Alois Linder. He has very successfully managed our Adhesives business
and set the course for the future. I am convinced that Thomas Geitner
will successfully continue the further development and 
internationalization of our Adhesives businesses."
Thomas Geitner, who has been a member  of  the  Henkel  Management  
Board  since March 1, 2008, has followed a highly successful career 
in the  technologies  and telecommunication  businesses.  He   held  
senior   management   positions   in international companies. 
Following assignments  at  Heidelberger  Druckmaschinen AG and 
Leybold AG,  he  was  a  member  of  the  Management  Board  of  RWE 
AG. Subsequently, for almost seven years Geitner  was  a  member  of 
the  Board  of
Directors of Vodafone Group PLC in UK.  During  this  time  he  was  responsible
among  others  for  the  successful  integration  of   the   former   Mannesmann
businesses, the creation of the worldwide Vodafone  brand,  the  development  of
global products and the consolidation of both the worldwide  infrastructure  and
purchasing.
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.
For more than 130 years, Henkel has been a leader with brands  and  
technologies that make people's lives easier, better and more 
beautiful. Henkel  operates  in three business areas - Home Care, 
Personal Care, and  Adhesives  Technologies  - and ranks among the  
Fortune  Global  500  companies.  In  fiscal  2007,  Henkel generated
