The Munich-based chemical company WACKER reinforces its presence in Australia by opening a new Technical Center in Melbourne. The facility will serve as a development and test lab for polymer-modified applications and promote the rapidly growing construction polymers business being realized in the region.

The investment is aimed at providing optimized support for local customers to develop new products while promoting internationally recognized quality standards in the construction industry.

The WACKER Group has supplied basic chemicals to Australia for over 25 years. In 1980, the local subsidiary Wacker Chemicals Australia Pty. Ltd. was founded in response to the increasing demands imposed on sales structures and marketing. Based in Melbourne, it provides support to customers in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia, Fiji Islands and South Pacific.
