Henkel invented the world's first glue stick after studying the "twist- up ease" and convenience of lipstick applicators. Since then, the world of gluing has never been the same –
consumers finally had a clean and convenient method of gluing! In more than 30 years since the first "tubed glue" hit
the market, Henkel has sold over 1 billion glue sticks in 121 countries, distinguishing Pritt as a true worldwide brand.

The Pritt Stick is available in 38 countries.
