Focus on biotechnology

Wacker intends to strengthen its future focus on biotechnology and is therefore repositioning its existing biotech and fine-chemical segment. Effective immediately, the division previously known as Wacker Fine Chemicals will operate under the Wacker Biosolutins name and primarily concentrate on the food, pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. The aim of this strategic reorganisation is to offer customers tailored complete solutions based on Wackers's biotech expertise and to intensify use of synergies between chemical and biotech expertise.
