WACKER ACADEMY Russia & CIS
Moscow, Russia
WACKER has been supplying Central and Eastern Europe with chemical raw materials for over 30 years. Through the WACKER ACADEMY in Moscow, we support our customers with a wide-ranging training and professional development program on construction chemistry applications for polymers and silicones.
The size of the country, its cultural contrasts and its varying and in some cases extreme climate zones place major demands both on us and our products. Our WACKER ACADEMY in Moscow has offered you the space to learn about and test our products since 2008. All of our training courses here are held in the application laboratories of our adjacent technical center, making use of its highly sophisticated equipment.
The Academy also has its own training room for courses on theoretical topics. WACKER ACADEMY offers in-depth courses on specific subjects geared both toward market demands and toward the individual needs of our customers.
Our well-equipped laboratories provide a foundation for successful training. Dive deep into a subject, understand our products and use them for your own needs, or learn about product innovations – we want to win you over and introduce you to new solutions. At the end of a training course, you will have gained a great deal of understanding about our technologies and product groups.
