MOSCOW (MRC) -- Dr. Andreas H. Biagosch (59) has joined Wacker Chemie AG’s Supervisory Board, the Munich-based chemical company announced in its press release.
He succeeds Dr. Bernd W. Voss, who has stepped down for health reasons.
Andreas Biagosch studied mechanical engineering and business administration for engineers at the Technische Universitat Munchen (TUM), before obtaining his doctorate (Dr.-Ing.) there. From 1980 to 1984, he worked as a development engineer at former MTU Munchen GmbH before joining the management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, Inc. He spent over 28 years there in a variety of functions. His work focused on advising companies from the high-tech, aerospace, automotive, chemical and energy sectors.
Since 2013, Biagosch has been Managing Director at Impacting I GmbH & Co.KG and Impact GmbH (consulting and investment firms). He also is a member of Aixtron SE’s Supervisory Board and the Advisory Councils of Commerzbank AG and Lurssen Werft GmbH & Co. KG. In addition, he is Non-Executive Director at the Indian commercial vehicle manufacturer Ashok Leyland and member of the TUM Board of Trustees.
We remind that, as MRC informed earlier, in 2013, Wacker Chemie AG officially launched its new production plant for ethylene-vinyl-acetate copolymer (EVA) dispersions at its Ulsan site in South Korea. The additional 40,000 tonnes from the second reactor line increases the site's EVA-dispersion capacity to a total of 90,000 tonnes per year. As MRC reported previously, the production capacity of the site has, thus, almost doubled, making the plant complex one of the biggest of its kind in South Korea.
Wacker Chemie AG is a worldwide operating company in the chemical business, founded 1914. The company is controlled by the Wacker-family holding more than 50 percent of the shares. The corporation is operating more than 25 production sites in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The product range includes silicone rubbers, polymer products like ethylene vinyl acetate redispersible polymer powder, chemical materials, polysilicon and wafers for semiconductor industry.
