Wevo is making a decisive push into Asia-Pacific, unveiling plans for a new production hub in Singapore as demand surges for advanced materials protecting next-generation electronics.
The Germany-based manufacturer of potting compounds, adhesives and sealants will establish the facility in the Tuas industrial area, positioning it as a strategic supply base for polyurethane systems used across high-growth sectors—from e-mobility and household appliances to energy generation, distribution and storage.
The move marks a significant shift in Wevo’s regional strategy, transforming the company into a local manufacturer for Asia-Pacific rather than a distant supplier.
“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.”
Built on eight decades of engineering expertise, the Singapore site will mirror the company’s German headquarters, replicating its production processes and stringent quality standards. The facility will house a fully integrated production line alongside expanded storage and packaging capabilities.
For Wevo, proximity is power.
“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,” explains Gerd Viertel, Managing Director of WEVO Chemical (Asia-Pacific) Pte. Ltd.
With the Singapore expansion, Wevo is betting big on Asia-Pacific—bringing production closer to customers and staking its claim in one of the world’s fastest-growing industrial markets.
