About the Manufacturer

Henkel Diversified Inc. is a Federally incorporated Canadian company located in London, Ontario. Its products are distributed by Gallinger Shelving.

In May 2004, the Company focused attention on developing a collapsible, automatically re-setting coat hook in response to a near tragic event in a city elementary school. This involved the accidental suspension of a four year old child on a rigid coat hook. A similar incident in 1998 resulted in the death of a ten year old in another Southern Ontario city.

The Company set its goal to establish a significant presence in the niche market for safety coat hooks and other specialty products developed through the innovative application of existing technology. The Company has designed, engineered and currently produces the HenkelHook™, a collapsible coat hook with automatic re-setting capability. The product is manufactured in Canada from materials primarily sourced in Canada. Canadian, United States and International Patents are currently pending.

The product is manufactured in ISO certified facilities and has been subjected to finite element analysis to ensure capacity to withstand the stresses of normal use in public washrooms. The product has been rigorously tested by an internationally recognized consumer products testing organization. Superior customer service in the on-time delivery of product, continued customer interface and satisfaction are the primary goals of Henkel Diversified.
