Message from the President

Alvin Hu

Alvin Hu, President of WACKER China

With more than 100 years of history, WACKER is a global leader in silicon and vinyl chemistry. Back in the 1970s, WACKER introduced its products to the Chinese market via distributors and based on its outstanding performance in the chemical sector. In 1993, WACKER officially announced its entry into the Chinese market and opened its first sales office. Since then, WACKER has gradually expanded into a comprehensive chemical company, integrating all functions of local R&D, production, sales and service. Today, China is WACKER's number one single market worldwide.

Over the past decades, WACKER has accompanied and been witness to the fundamental developments in China, and has had the privilege to participate in them, in line with its “In China, for China” commitment. From household products to new energy applications, WACKER products can be found everywhere from the Beijing Olympic Stadium and the Hamburg House in Shanghai to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and Daxing International Airport.

Innovation, local R&D and sustainability are core values at WACKER. With technological innovation as the driving force and sustainability as the core element of its corporate strategy, WACKER China works together with upstream and downstream partners to provide customers and consumers with solutions that are closer to local market needs, improve people's quality of life, and help China and the world achieve carbon neutrality.

I believe that WACKER's adherence to the Group's core values and its commitment to "in China, for China" have earned it the support and trust of colleagues and partners from all walks of life. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our customers, partners, the communities where our plants are located and government officials at all levels, as well as to the employees of WACKER China. While keeping our original intentions in mind, we will continue to move forward as we have for decades.
