Henkel technology supports completion of the Sagrada Familia’s central towers

24 tons of Loctite adhesive applied in iconic landmark

The construction of the Sagrada Familia’s central towers marks the most complex structural challenge in the basilica’s history. An advanced Loctite solution from Henkel has been instrumental in meeting this challenge and serves as an invisible enabler of this architectural milestone. Over more than a decade of collaboration, Henkel has contributed not only its high-performance structural adhesive, Loctite EA 9497, but also extensive testing and validation beyond standard requirements, dedicated technical expertise, and continuous supply tailored to the project’s evolving needs.

“This project embodies what we do at Henkel Adhesive Technologies. We work with our customers to turn their vision into reality. The Sagrada Família shows what’s possible when the right partners come together. We make it happen by delivering solutions that perform where it matters most. As Henkel marks 150 years, it’s a powerful reminder that progress happens when innovation and collaboration endure across generations,” explained Mark Dorn, Executive Vice President Henkel Adhesive Technologies.
