As a leading manufacturer of potting compounds, adhesives and sealants primarily used to protect sensitive electronics, Wevo is expanding its presence in the Asia-Pacific region with a new production site in Singapore. Located in the Tuas industrial area, the facility will serve as a key hub for supplying customers with locally manufactured polyurethane systems that offer proven solutions across a wide range of industries, such as e-mobility and white goods, as well as the generation, distribution and storage of energy.
With its new production site in Singapore, Wevo is responding to the growing demand for proven polyurethane-based potting compounds, adhesives and sealants, thus becoming a regional manufacturer for the Asia-Pacific market. “Our engagement in Singapore is a central component of our globalisation and growth strategy. By investing in additional production capacity, we are making a clear commitment to a region that continues to grow dynamically – both economically and technologically,” says Daniel Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of WEVO-CHEMIE GmbH. “As a reliable partner, we support our local and international customers and enable innovative future technologies with our solutions.”
Quality and processes to German standards
Drawing on the 80 years of expertise of Wevo-Chemie, the new facility will feature identical production processes and quality standards to those of the company’s headquarters in southern Germany. In addition to a fully integrated production line, the building in the Tuas industrial area also offers ample storage and packaging capacity.
Gerd Viertel, Managing Director of WEVO Chemical (Asia-Pacific) Pte. Ltd., explains: “By manufacturing within the region for the region, we are enhancing delivery reliability for our customers and reducing response times. Additionally, our closer proximity to the market provides a robust foundation for expanding our presence in the long term and strategically leveraging opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region.”
The start of production is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026. The initial focus will be on the proven polyurethane portfolio, including polyurethane potting compounds, adhesives and sealants for electronics manufacturing – for instance through dispensing under atmospheric pressure or vacuum.
Growth in Asia-Pacific
With the new facility in Singapore, Wevo is continuing the systematic expansion of its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. In 2025, a new company was founded in India, enabling fast and targeted customer support on site through the development of its own sales structures. Together with the existing locations in Hong Kong and Guangzhou this enhances local service in line with Wevo’s high standards.
