WACKER DYMATIC Silicones moves to new offices and production site
WACKER DYMATIC Silicones, a joint venture between Wacker Chemie AG (Munich, Germany) and DYMATIC Chemicals Inc. (Shunde, China), has commissioned a new silicone emulsion plant. It is located at the company’s new headquarters in Shunde (Guangdong province) and has an annual production capacity of some 4,500 metric tons. The specialty chemical company plans to increase its supply of silicone emulsions to southern China’s textile, fiber and leather industries and to further enhance its market position.
In addition to the emulsion plant, a warehouse and offices – the company headquarters – for the 30 staff members were erected at the new site. “WACKER DYMATIC Silicones had previously used DYMATIC Chemicals’ infrastructure in Shunde. But the company needs its own site for further successful growth,” explains Dr. Christoph von Plotho, head of the WACKER SILICONES division.
In May 2008, WACKER DYMATIC Silicones already opened a plant for silicone emulsions and process auxiliaries in Zhangjiagang (Jiangsu province) to supply the Chinese textile, fiber and leather industries. “The two facilities will allow us to respond even faster to Chinese market needs, optimize local customer support and provide silicone products that meet international quality standards,” said Tony Huang, DYMATIC Chemicals’ board chairman.
