Portavoces de BASF dijeron que la compañía está descontinuando la producción de algunos productos agroquímicos debido a medidas de racionalización, aunque la planta continuará operando para productos como poliestireno expandible, dispersiones, químicos para cuero y auxiliares y químicos textiles.
“The agrochemicals market in India is highly competitive,” said BASF India chairman Prasad Chandran. “The need of the day is new chemistry, which is affordable.” The company said it will continue to supply its high quality brands through toll manufacturing. “Access to international manufacturing sites in Asia Pacific also serves as a good backup,” BASF India said.
BASF, parent company to BASF India, recently said that the Thane unit would be an ideal location for BASF’s Asia Technical Centre for Textiles.
