Classification: Factory or Trader?
PT. Wacker Chemicals Indonesia is primarily the sales, distribution, and technical service office of a global manufacturer (Wacker Chemie AG).
While Wacker Chemie AG operates numerous production plants (factories) worldwide, PT. Wacker Chemicals Indonesia itself does not typically operate as a primary manufacturing facility in Indonesia. Instead, it focuses on:
Importing products manufactured by Wacker Group's global production sites.
Distributing these products within the Indonesian market.
Providing sales, marketing, and technical support to local customers.
Managing logistics and warehousing for these products locally.
Therefore, it functions as a direct subsidiary and representative office of the manufacturer, ensuring the supply and support of Wacker's products in the Indonesian market, rather than being an independent trader or a standalone local manufacturing plant.
