Wevo Chemie is strengthening its presence in India’s high-growth market for polyurethane solutions with the founding of WEVO Chemical India Private Limited, headquartered in Gurugram, southwest of New Delhi. Wevo reports that the new entity will provide a local sales team to ensure faster and more targeted customer support and, at the same time, a nationwide sales structure. A flexible supply chain concept for Wevo’s proven potting compounds, adhesives, and sealants is designed to simplify logistics processes and ensure continuous material flows. 

Gerd Viertel, managing director of WEVO Chemical (Asia-Pacific) Pte. Ltd., based in Singapore, explained, “Establishing a nationwide presence in India is the logical next step for us to meet market demands. As part of our strategic expansion, the company forms the basis for further growth and long-term partnerships with our customers across the country.”

A key element is continuous material flows between Wevo’s logistics hub in Singapore and the distribution warehouse (container freight station) in India. “In the fast-growing Indian market, rapid material availability and reliable delivery processes are decisive for our customers’ success,” explained Viertel. “Our new supply chain concept ensures the constant availability of our core products and significantly shortens lead times.” Another advantage is that Wevo products can be supplied with longer shelf-life.

A Focus on Polyurethane Systems for Electronics Potting

Wevo reports that the local sales team is familiar with industry requirements and can offer proven standard materials or customizable formulations in close consultation with customers, including direct on-site application support. Initially, the focus is on proven polyurethane potting compounds for electronics, which are used for electronic potting in sectors such as automotive, energy technology, and white goods. The liquid polyurethanes are processed by dispensing or screen printing, also enabling fully or partially automated manufacturing processes, for example with potting compounds for PCBs.

Wevo is a global manufacturer of individually adaptable potting compounds, adhesives and sealants based on polyurethane, epoxy and silicone. Based in Tucker, Georgia, WEVO CHEMICAL CORPORATION operates as a nationwide company in the United States. With longstanding expertise, it offers customized, high-performance material solutions that meet the specific demands of customers and applications across various industries. Like the US company, the new presence in India will be closely integrated into the existing global network further supporting Wevo’s international growth strategy.
