Branch offices on all continents
Weicon now represented in Australia
Weicon,
the manufacturer of adhesives and sealants, has founded an eleventh branch
abroad. With the new location near Brisbane in Australia, the Münster-based
family business is now represented worldwide with branch offices on all
continents.
Weicon Australia Pty. Ltd.
Weicon Australia Pty. Ltd, the official name of the new branch, is based in Yatala, between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, on the east coast of Australia. The branch is headed by Managing Director Joelle del Rio. “We’ve been working with Joelle for years. She joined our team in Münster in 2020 as a student trainee in our e-commerce department. Two years ago, she emigrated to Australia and set up the online business with our products there. We are very much looking forward to a successful collaboration with Joelle and her team and to a great start in Australia,” says Ann-Katrin Weidling, co-partner of the Weicon Group.
Brisbane and the Gold Coast
More
than three million people live in the region of the new branch between Brisbane
and the Gold Coast. Brisbane is the industrial, commercial and financial centre
of the state of Queensland and the third largest city on the continent.
The economy in Australia
Australia is a very interesting market
for German companies. The strongest sectors of the economy are mining, the
extraction of raw materials, the energy sector and environmental technology.
Despite long distances, the continent is an important procurement market for
many raw materials. The development of renewable energies, such as offshore
wind power, has played a key role in Australia for several years and the
country aims to reach carbon-neutrality by 2050.
