BASF Adds Russian Polyurethane Systems Site

St. Petersburg, Russia, Sept. 20, 2011 -- BASF has added a second Russian polyurethane systems site.

Next spring, the applications technology center near St. Petersburg will start operations, which will provide polyurethane customers with comprehensive local sales and technology services.

Like the System House in Nishnekamsk, which went into operation in 2000, this site will also be a part of the joint venture with the Russian company OAO Nishnekamskneftechim.

This means that BASF can draw on local polyol production in Russia.

BASF has 38 System Houses worldwide.
