Wacker opens new silicone production site in South Korea




Wacker Chemie AG has opened a new production site for silicone elastomers in Jincheon, South Korea. With the new site, Wacker is significantly expanding its production and therefore its position as a leading silicone manufacturer in the region. Some €15 million has been invested in the new production site.
Wacker has produced silicone sealants in Jincheon since 2010 and has also manufactured speciality silicone elastomers there for the electronics industry since 2012.
The centrepiece of the new site is a 13,000 square meter production building. Silicone sealants for the construction industry and speciality silicone elastomers for electronic applications will be manufactured in separate facilities. The production lines have been equipped with cutting-edge manufacturing technology that enables fully automatic and therefore highly efficient production processes. Hyperpure silicones are produced and packaged in a dedicated cleanroom – a service that is becoming increasingly important for customers from the electronics industry in particular.
