"BASF has a solid track-record of innovations that contribute to improve people’s lives until today. Two examples are: the synthesis of ammonia that lead to huge increases in agricultural yields and the development of polystyrene that gave birth to the era of plastics and still today delivers a very important contribution to energy efficiency and climate protection in form of innovative insulating materials."
Dr. Andreas Kreimeyer, Executive Research Director
