I bought a tube of glue to fix a model airplane I built with my daughter earlier this month. I was astonished to see no branding on the tube or the packaging. After all, even bananas have little brand stickers.
Tiny letters on the lower left corner of the reverse side of the package identify the manufacturer as Henkel Co. of Avon, Ohio. Equally small lettering says Made in Canada.
Henkel is an enormous German company. The website of Henkel North America shows the business has thousands of U.S. employees and manufactures some leading brands. Why this company didn't brand the hobby glue I bought is a mystery.
