Geopolitical uncertainties, regulatory requirements, and increasing performance expectations are reshaping the plastics industry. At Fakuma 2026, BASF will demonstrate under the guiding theme #OurPlasticsJourney how the perceived trade-offs between sustainability, resilience, and performance can be overcome.

BASF has mandated Citi, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan as Global Coordinators to lead the preparation of the planned initial public offering (IPO) of its Agricultural Solutions business. With this, BASF Agricultural Solutions is taking the next step on its path toward IPO readiness, targeted by mid-2027. As previously announced, BASF plans to list Agricultural Solutions as a Societas Europaea (SE) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
