Welcome to WACKER

EUROPE

Europe – with Germany as a major production center – is our springboard for entering a variety of new markets. Our strong market position in Europe gives us a firm base for expanding our global operations. This international expansion is a further factor in WACKER’s success.

In establishing Wacker Chemie Nederland B.V. – our first non-German subsidiary – in 1972, we laid the foundation for tapping European markets. Today, we have no hesitation in calling Europe our home market, where we are the leader in silicon chemistry and ethylene-based polymer products – a position we intend to keep in the future.

The key lies in the high quality of our products, the development of innovative applications and our excellent service. These factors set us apart from our competitors and enable us to add value for our customers. With Germany as the backbone of our global production network, we manufacture around 80 percent of our products in Europe, and sell them throughout the world.
