🚗🔋 Electromobility - taking a look back to the future! Did you know that electromobility is not a recent invention? This historical photo from 1954 shows that even back then, electric trolleys transported small goods within our Burghausen plant. Today, we are helping to shape the future of electromobility with our solutions. Our silicones ensure greater safety, efficiency and durability in electric vehicles. They protect batteries, improve power electronics and thus create the basis for the mobility of tomorrow. #WACKERHistory #eMobility

🔬 Advancing the Future of Biologics Manufacturing We’re excited to announce our strategic collaboration with Gearbox Biosciences to co-develop cutting-edge technologies for plasmid DNA (pDNA) manufacturing — a key component in mRNA therapies, gene therapies, and vaccines. We previously developed an antibiotic-free system for recombinant pharmaceutical protein, leveraging our ESETEC® platform. This partnership combines WACKER’s expertise in GMP biologics production with Gearbox Biosciences’ innovative Pop-Out-Plasmid® technology, enabling antibiotic-free, scalable, and cost-effective pDNA workflows. 💡 Together, we aim to: 🔹Revolutionize manufacturing of pDNA 🔹Improve sustainability and regulatory compliance 🔹Accelerate timelines from lab to clinic The collaboration is already underway at our newly opened WACKER Biotechnology Center in Munich, with promising milestones ahead.

Today, we officially opened a new fab at our production site in Burghausen, Germany: the Etching Line Next. 🎉 The plant marks another milestone for the production of ultra-pure polysilicon for the semiconductor industry, both in terms of capacity and quality. The state-of-the-art facility enables the production of semiconductor-grade polysilicon with the highest possible purity, i.e. over 99.9999999999 percent! Every second computer chip worldwide uses our material! With this investment, we are further expanding our position as a global technology leader and high quality polysilicon supplier to the semiconductor industry. The opening ceremony was attended by customers, suppliers and project partners, and several politicians including Gitta Connemann MdB , Parliamentary State Secretary to the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs, and Bavaria’s Minister-President Dr. Markus Söder . With the Etching Line Next, we are now able to meet the growing needs of the semiconductor industry. Our ultra-pure polysilicon is a key enabler for the next generations of high performance chips used for supercomputers and AI. #IPCEI #IPCEI_ME_KT #IPCEI_ME_CT #polysilicon #semiconductors #chipindustry #microelectronics #communication_technology #MadeInGermany

Take a look behind the scenes: top experts and enterprising creative types are not the only ones working at our sites – we are a home to high-tech colleagues too, i.e. to robots that carry out a wide range of jobs and gather data that make production smarter. SPOT is one of these. You can find him walking on all fours, stepping gingerly through our Burghausen or Nünchritz plants as he supports employees during plant inspections. The data that the robot collects are also used for ongoing software development work. Using artificial intelligence and an industry 4.0 approach, all of the data that robotic dog gathers can be processed and interlinked. #robodog #robotics #Burghausen #Nünchritz
