BASF Opens Second PU Systems Site in Russia

In spring 2012, the applications technology center near St. Petersburg will start operations which will provide comprehensive technical services and sales know-how for modern polyurethane systems to quickly and competently serve customers from a wide range of businesses. The focus is on the automotive and construction industries as well as on CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, Elastomers). The building will house a modern technology center and office space alongside storage areas and test laboratory.

Through its existing System House in Nishnekamsk, BASF already has a strong market position in polyurethane system solutions. BASF sees significant potential for growth especially in the automotive and construction segments of the market for applications using high quality polyurethane system solutions.

Like BASF’s existing system house in Nishnekamsk, the new sitewill also be a part of the joint venture with the Russian company OAO Nishnekamskneftechim (NKNC)
