WACKER ACADEMY USA

USA: Ann Arbor, Allentown, Dalton

Different strengths, different areas of expertise – our WACKER ACADEMIES in North America offer you the ideal training environment with the most modern technology available.

A focus on customer demands: WACKER ACADEMY USA

At our three WACKER ACADEMIES in Ann Arbor (Michigan), Allentown (Pennsylvania) and Dalton (Georgia), we are completely focused on the demands of our North American customers and distributors. Each of our WACKER ACADEMIES has its unique strengths and focuses its training programs on different areas.

Prior to the ACADEMY moving to WACKER Chemical Corporation’s North and Central Americas (NCA) Innovation Center and Regional Headquarters in Ann Arbor in 2022, the ACADEMY had been in operation at WACKER’s Adrian, Michigan site since 2010. Ann Arbor specializes in silicone chemistry and cyclodextrin applications. Established in 2010, Allentown primarily concentrates on polymer chemistry for the construction, paints and coatings, and adhesives industries. Dalton (established in 2013) focuses on VAE dispersions as carpet binders.

We make it a point to gear our training program toward the needs of our customers so that we can provide concrete support for their projects.
