BASF Corporation Company Description
If you're a North American chemical company, BASF might strike you as a four-letter word. BASF Corporation -- the North American subsidiary of the world's largest chemicals company, BASF SE -- makes nearly every chemical under the sun. The company has six business segments: chemicals (basic, intermediate, and performance), plastics (thermoplastics, foams, and urethanes), coatings (automotive and coil coatings), fine chemicals (vitamins, feed supplements, and raw materials for pharmaceuticals), agricultural chemicals (herbicides, insecticides), and BASF Plant Science (biotechnology). The company is BASF's NAFTA region representative and is responsible for about a fifth of its parent's total sales.
