一體化
一體化（Verbund）體系是巴斯夫產品組合的基礎，也是我們的一大優勢。在巴斯夫的一體化（Verbund）基地，生產裝置與技術平台智慧互聯，進而能夠高效地使用資源和發揮專長。
我們的產品組合在實體、技術、市場相關度和數位一體化等方面擁有獨特的優勢。憑藉六個一體化基地和361個其他生產基地，巴斯夫幾乎能為世界上任何國家和地區的客戶與合作夥伴提供服務。一體化體系集成了我們的生產、市場及技術平台，將各項業務緊密相連。
一體化體系創造了從基礎化學品到塗料和作物保護產品等高附加值產品的高效價值鏈。此外，一個生產裝置的副產品可被另一個生產裝置用作原料。在這個系統中，化學工藝能夠以更低的能耗生產更多的產品，從而保護資源。我們以這樣的方式節約原料和能源，降低排放和物流成本，充分發揮綜效。這些解決方案使巴斯夫得以在世界各地保持競爭力的同時説明客戶更加成功。
我們將繼續建立和開發一體化體系，整合營運，建構更為緊湊而高效的生產基地網路，在行業內保持領先。
