Adhesives company joins with Formula 1 as sponsor
Henkel, the maker of Loctite products, joined forces with Team McLaren Mercedes to sponsor a competition with a first prize of a VIP trip to the 2005 Italian Formula One Grand Prix.
Earlier this year, Henkel, the maker of Loctite products joined forces with Team McLaren Mercedes to sponsor a competition with a first prize of a VIP trip to the 2005 Italian Formula One Grand Prix at Monza.
The competition involved matching images on scratch cards carried on selected packs of Loctite instant adhesives and anaerobic products.
The lucky winner was Eddie Gore, quality manager of Oxfordshire based Hydac Technologies.
Eddie was, of course, delighted, and he pointed out that the date of the trip - 2 to 4 September - marked the very start of his retirement.
'This is a really exciting way to start off my retirement.
It is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences and I am grateful to Henkel for making it possible.' Hydac Technologies is a worldwide company that develops and manufactures innovative products for applications involving fluid power, hydraulics and electronics.
Its portfolio includes accumulators, filtration products, ball valves and cooling systems.
It is also involved with process and mounting technology.
Naturally, a wide range of Loctite adhesive, threadlocking and sealing products are used throughout the plant to ensure joints remain secure even under the most demanding of circumstances.
Other prizes in the competition included a tour of the award-winning McLaren Technology Centre, headquarters of the Team McLaren Mercedes Formula One Racing Team and free subscriptions to Team McLaren - the official supporters' club of the Formula One team.
Further prizes featured Team McLaren Mercedes merchandise such as baseball caps, sports bags, wallets, pens and mugs.
Henkel is an Official Supplier to Team McLaren Mercedes with over 100 different applications on the Team McLaren Mercedes MP4-20.
