Henkel said it was in discussions with the majority owner of Stahl Holdings over a potential acquisition of the Dutch specialty-chemicals Company.

The management board of Henkel, a German chemical and consumer-goods group, on Monday acknowledged speculation regarding the deal and said it was in talks with French investment firm Wendel, the majority owner of Stahl, over the acquisition.

The company's board said it remained uncertain whether an agreement would be reached and that any deal would have to be approved by its governing bodies as well as antitrust regulators.
