Wacker Stops Short-time Work at Burghausen Site

Wacker Chemie has stopped the short-time work schedule introduced at Burghausen's polysilicon facilities back in early October 2012. The Munich-based chemical company took this decision amid growing demand from its solar-sector customers. To serve this demand growth, the company is ramping up its current capacities - which are currently curbed to two-thirds of full utilization - and is, thus, ending short-time work at Wacker Polysilicon

Back in early October, 2012, Wacker had begun to curb polysilicon production and had applied for short-time work for about 700 Wacker Polysilicon employees at its Burghausen site.
