Wacker Chemie AG inaugurated its new technical center in Allentown (Pennsylvania, USA). Equipped with lab facilities, the center will develop and test polymer products chiefly for applications in the construction, adhesive, engineered fabrics and architectural coating industries. Through its new addition, the Munich-based chemical company is promoting international quality standards and the exchange of expertise with regional customers and partners.
The technical center is located at Wacker Polymers’ new US headquarters, which was opened at the same time. Alongside research and applications labs, the 6,200 m2 HQ building houses sales, marketing, customer-service and administrative functions. The move to Allentown is a major milestone in Wacker’s integration of its two former joint ventures – Air Products Polymers and Wacker Polymer Systems – into the Group. Wacjer acquired full ownership of these two companies last year.
