WACKER

Volunteering has always played a crucial role in environmental protection. So, this #InternationalCoastalCleanupDay, we would like to thank all the people who commit their time to activities that promote environmental protection. One inspiring example is the international Coastal Cleanup initiative, where volunteers like our fellow WACKER employee Jeffrey Maylas, Market Development Manager in the Philippines, are making a difference. Facing the increasing impacts of climate change – such as frequent typhoons and plastic waste clogging waterways – Jeffrey and his team have been actively contributing to the improvement of coastal areas. Every little step counts! Find out about Jeffrey’s inspiring commitment here. 👉 http://wch.ag/ig5X50WXr7Z #WACKERAnnualReport2024 #InternationalCoastalCleanupDay

Today, we had the pleasure of hosting a delegation from the renowned Zhejiang Bulk Cement Association 🇨🇳. President Zhang Jianxing, General Secretary Wang Chaoling and the other attendees kindly granted us some of their valuable time to visit our headquarters in Munich. We would like to express our gratitude for having had this opportunity to strengthen our business relationship as a leading manufacturer of binders for cementitious construction products. We look forward to a successful working partnership in the future. #tileadhesives #construction #vinnapas

Plaster rosettes and antique designs are masterpieces of craftsmanship. They are the preferred choice when it comes to decorating historic buildings, as their intricate detail is extremely impressive, but many people also want them as decoration for their living rooms. Petri Hakala and Marjut Nättinen from Finland wanted plaster moldings for their property in Korpilahti, Finland, but they could only find them in antique shops, at an eye-watering price. Without further ado, the couple founded their own plastering company. Their approach involves three key ingredients: high-quality gypsum; water; and pourable silicone rubber from WACKER, which allows the fresh gypsum to be spread and shaped with absolute precision. You can find out here what role our ELASTOSIL® VARIO product plays in this process: http://wch.ag/2lZM50WJoTQ #siliconerubber #crownmolding

Neighbor, business partner, customer, supplier – these are the ties that connect us with air up, the innovative company behind the popular water bottle that adds flavor through scent. While air up bottles are celebrated worldwide, their latest model is “Designed in Germany, made in Austria.” This achievement is the result of close collaboration between our silicone experts, elastomer injection molder RICO GROUP GmbH and plastics manufacturer Greiner. Visit us at K – The World's No.1 Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber in Düsseldorf: 📅 October 8–15 in Düsseldorf, Germany 📍 Booth A10, Hall 6 There, we’ll be demonstrating live injection molding of the central mouthpiece for the air up drinking bottle. #SiliconeElastomers #LSR #airup #K2025
