This is still the Wacker R & D center research enterprise to use of electrochemical process, utilization ofcarbide and its subsequent product development of effective compounds asacetylene.

In 1914, Wacker Dr. obtaining the approval of government departments, to allow the construction of a hydroelectric power plant, and build a connection of AlzRiver and Salzach River canal. The two rivers have between 63 meters height fall, Wacker Dr. decided in Bavaria Berg Haosen factory, see is this favorablegenerating terrain.

After a few years, Wacker continue to use in acetylene chemistry and siliconchemical field of innovation advantage, and create a new era. In twentieth Century 60 at the end of the 1960s, Wacker as Europe's first large-scaleproduction of organic silicon business successfully entered the United States market. Vinyl traditional business Wacker is also rapidly developing, Wackerbegan to consider a new oil base process, instead of using carbide acetylene production process of energy dissipation, and relatively expensive. At the end of 50's, Wacker to ethylene as raw materials developed for Wacker second processof acetic acid production "".

In 2008, Wacker and Dow Corning joint venture to build one of the world's largestsiloxane comprehensive production base in Zhangjiagang. In 2011, Wacker group started construction of second polysilicon production line in Charleston,tennessee. The structure of shareholder Wacker group has also undergone a change in these years.
