Adhesives manufacturer, Henkel South Africa, has launched its first Loctite mobile training unit designed to bring hands-on product support, technical training and adhesive demonstrations directly to its users.
The mobile van was unveiled in Johannesburg in partnership with Randel, a proudly South African SME and trusted logistics partner to Henkel for over a decade. The move marks Henkel’s commitment to educating users on the correct use of adhesives while also promoting skills development and training.
“The primary goals of this initiative are to bring technical training and product knowledge directly to the people and places that need them most from remote worksites and industrial areas to educational institutions,” said Natasha Naidoo, director of adhesives industrial, Henkel South Africa. “This is about improving standards, empowering youth and giving SMEs the tools and support they need to grow and compete on a larger scale.”
Fully equipped with demonstration stations, industry-specific simulation tools and a variety of digital resources, the Loctite mobile van is built to deliver on-site training that is tailored to sectors such as mining, manufacturing, construction and automotive repair. The rollout will start in Gauteng, with plans for a nationwide expansion.
“This project means growth for us, for Henkel and for every community we visit. It creates awareness, uplifts small businesses and brings professional-grade training to people who may never have had access before. The Mobile Van isn’t just transport, it’s a moving opportunity,” said Kreolan Pillay, managing director of Randel.
