About Wacker Greater ChinaAbout Wacker Greater China

As a key producer and technology leader in polymers and silicone chemistry, WACKER began evolving into a global player during the 1950s. Its products were first introduced to mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan by distributors in the 1970s. WACKER soon gained a good reputation in several application areas thanks to its outstanding quality and cutting-edge technology. In 1992, it began to acquire direct access to Greater China. Until now, Wacker has built up a stronger direct presence in Greater China, ranging from production, sales and technical support, which includes two technical centers ( in Shanghai and Beijing), four production sites( in Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuxi and Zhangjiagang) and seven sales offices( in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shunde, Hong Kong, Taipei and Hisnchu).
Each of the Group’s five divisions are active in China’s key industries electronics, constructions, coatings, life science, automobile, transportation, chemicals, energy and electrical engineering. WACKER’s products and technologies help to improve daily life in China. They contribute to the sustainable development of the region.
