摘要

Wacker Chemie AG is strengthening its presence in South America, and today inaugurates its expanded technical center, including training center, near Sao Paulo, Brazil. The new regional competence center for South America combines research and development, applications technology, and a basicand advanced-training facility for silicone and polymer applications under one roof. The expansion focuses on die labs for polymer binders which are primarily used in construction chemical applications. The integrated WACKER ACADEMY training facility, which is also being expanded, is furnished with a new practice room and so offers an ideal platform for industry-specific networking among customers, distribution partners and WACKER specialists. With the expansion, the Brazil technical center is increasing its local expertise in applications technology, know-how transfer and service, and thereby serves the strongly growing markets for high-quality silicone and polymer products in South America.
