Europe

Europe is the continent of infinitesimal countries (Vatican, Monaco, Gibraltar) and huge history: it is the continent where everything began with the company’s foundation in Mannheim on April 6th, 1865. Today, with an area of approximately ten square kilometres the Ludwigshafen Verbund site is the world’s largest integrated chemical complex. As the headquarters of BASF, it is also the cradle of the Verbund concept, where production facilities, energy flows and logistics are networked together intelligently in order to utilize resources as efficiently as possible.
