Pritt is a brand of adhesives, tapes, correction, and fixing products designed and marketed by Henkel.
Pritt invented the world's first glue stick, also known as the Pritt Stick, which is a solid adhesive in a twistable casing.
In 1967, Henkel researcher Dr Wolfgang Dierichs and his team took inspiration from John Lemings and developed a similar glue stick that resembled a lipstick in a twistable casing.
