Henkel Consumer Goods Inc. Closing Arizona Office

Henkel, the German company that bought the Valley-based soap and consumer products-focused Dial Corporation in 2003, will be moving all of its operations out of Arizona beginning early next year.

That will lead to a loss of 375 jobs and also some of the Valley’s history. It was a company that for decades was one of the most civically engaged entities here.

Brad Casper was president and CEO of Dial from 2005 to 2010. KJZZ's The Show asked Casper about Henkel’s decision.

The Phoenix Business Journal reported employees will have a chance to relocate to the new facility in Stamford, Connecticut. 

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
