WACKER ACADEMY has existed since 2007. Once the pioneering training concept in Burghausen got off the ground, it was soon followed by more branches. Since its inception, our customers and business partners have shown enormous interest in this completely new approach to international training and continuing education.

This has prompted us to remain dedicated in our efforts to optimize the seminar program and to expand the individual training locations to encompass new topics, products and target groups – unified as the WACKER ACADEMY. This training concept reflects the pooling of WACKER expertise to form a single platform. It creates an even broader framework for swapping the know-how and experience we have gained with chemical products over the last 100 years across different sectors and countries, thus generating new impulses.

WACKER is a global chemical leader and one of the sector's most research-intensive companies. Our labs and technical centers come up with new ideas and solutions daily – leading to innovative products that enhance people's lives. The WACKER ACADEMY is currently the only seminar center to provide access to a large pool of data and knowledge.

WACKER ACADEMY is headquartered at our largest production plant, which is in Burghausen, Germany. Further WACKER ACADEMY centers located in different regions exemplify our policy of making global expertise available right on your doorstep. As a result, we can offer you a seminar program that is tailored to you and your specific markets.

Our program encompasses the components needed for achieving success with specific WACKER products:

specialist information on chemical applications, formulation know-how and the design of modern exterior insulation and finish systems for energy-efficient facades and novel self-leveling compounds. Insights into successful innovation, intercultural collaboration and the principles of business administration, entrepreneurial practice in the global arena, and the productive use of e-business tools round out the program. Designed specifically for our customers and market partners, the program addresses the needs and regional differences of these target groups.

Although a specialist seminar is good, one that is ideally tailored to your own needs is even better. That's why the WACKER ACADEMY provides you with various training options. Either choose a standard seminar (with fixed content), or ask us to design an individual seminar to meet your own specific needs. In the latter case, you specify the content, schedule and venue.

All our seminars are held by experienced specialists – chiefly in-house experts. To make our program even more attractive and ensure it remains up to date, we work closely with universities and research institutes.
