Chemical company Wacker has extended its Southeast Asian presence by opening a new representative office in Yangon, Myanmar.
The Munich-based company said the office will distribute products of the chemical business divisions Wacker Silicones, Wacker Polymers and Wacker Biosolutions to cater to customers in the construction, coatings, personal and household care and food industry, among others. This will allow Wacker to further expand its global presence and footprint across the region and provide optimum local support to its customers and business partners. The office in Yangon is Wacker’s seventh in South East Asia.
Dynamic growth in Myanmar’s economy, particularly in the construction, personal and household care and food sectors, drove the decision to open up a new representative office in the capital Yangon.
“With the new representative office in Yangon, we will be able to keep pace with future market growth and strengthen our leading position in the region, offering our local customers and partners better support than ever,” Patrick de Wolf, Managing Director of Wacker South East Asia said.
Wacker now has 27 sales offices in Asia, seven of them located in South East Asia: Bangkok (Thailand), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Jakarta (Indonesia), Manila (the Philippines), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Yangon (Myanmar) and Singapore, which also is the company’s regional headquarters.
