BASF inaugurates second plant for polymer dispersions at Daya Bay site in China
BASF celebrates the inauguration of its second polymer dispersions production line at the Daya Bay site in Huizhou, China. This expansion directly responds to the rapidly growing local demand for high-quality dispersions.
The plant’s strategic location near raw material suppliers shortens delivery lead times. This enhances BASF’s competitiveness and agility in meeting customer needs. With its augmented production capacity, the plant will continue to provide comprehensive support to various industries, including paints, construction, packaging and adhesives.
BASF remains steadfast in its dedication to developing new and cutting-edge products that address the evolving demands in China. Andreas Fechtenkoetter, senior vice president, Dispersions Asia Pacific, BASF, elaborated on the company’s strategy for expanding production capacity. He said, “Both existing demand and the expansion of our product offerings drive our growth. For instance, in addition to architectural and construction coatings, we have expanded our product portfolio to cater to the battery industry.”
Since its establishment in 2012, the Daya Bay plant has played an important role in supporting growth in Southern China. The groundbreaking for its second production line took place in Q4 2022. As of Q2 2024, the new production line is fully operational, further reinforcing BASF’s dedication to driving innovation and meeting the evolving needs of industries worldwide.
