Wacker expands Singapore centre

Wacker continues to strengthen its presence in Southeast Asia and recently inaugurated its expanded technical centre in Singapore. A new laboratory has been built for developing and testing silicone elastomers for growing industries, such as health care and electronics. At the same time, the labs for silicones and polymeric binders dedicated to construction applications have been expanded and newly furnished. The regional competence centre will now provide technical support for customers in the coatings, electronics, personal and health care, textile, automotive and construction industry, among others.

"Southeast Asia is an important growth market for Wacker. Our sales in the region have grown significantly over the recent years and we see further potential for strong future growth in the region,” explained Wacker Executive Board member Christian Hartel. "The expanded facility will strengthen our position as one of the leading silicones and polymers manufacturers in Southeast Asia.”
