The company does not publish where this is made.
Checked on 2 October 2026: the Le Chat pages on henkel.fr and henkel.com, the Henkel France sites page and the Henkel France press release of 4 May 2026. None of these links Le Chat to a plant; the sites page and the press release name only the French industrial sites at Villefranche-sur-Saône and Epernon. A Henkel France article of 8 October 2014 says the Le Chat Eco-Efficacité range was produced at Nemours, France, which is not a current statement for the whole brand.
