IRVINE, CA – Benoit Pouliquen has been appointed corporate senior vice president and global head of the Electronics business of Henkel Adhesive Technologies.

He succeeds Alan Syzdek who retired last year.

Pouliquen joined Henkel as part of its 2014 acquisition of The Bergquist Co., where he served on the board of directors for many years before being named CEO in 2011.

He has been involved with the integration of Bergquist into Henkel and the expansion of thermal management solutions within the electronics business of Adhesive Technologies.

“With the thermal portfolio solidly delivering great value and our broad assembly and semiconductor materials product lines expanding, we now look forward to complementing our market offer with Henkel specialty coatings and adhesives critical to the manufacture of display technologies,” says Pouliquen. “This group, which was formerly part of another Henkel business unit, fits nicely into our strategy to drive even more growth in display interface applications such as handhelds, wearables, computing and automotive.”

Pouliquen is a former top executive with Sheldahl and Johnson Matthey Electronics, among others.
