Microsoft Says BASF Helps Make The Xbox™ Video Game System Better

Representatives from Microsoft Corporation recently came to BASF Corporation's Northeast Regional Headquarters in the International Trade Center to thank the company for helping make the Xbox™ better and to share the reasons behind their choosing of BASF's Terluran® ABS engineering plastic to produce the Xbox™ game system console worldwide.

The Xbox™ video game system from Microsoft is dazzling customers of all ages by creating video games that "blur the lines between fantasy and reality." Equally as imaginative is the sleek, distinctive, deep green Xbox™ console with a signature "X" on the top and Xbox™ "jewel" in the center.

Microsoft selected BASF Terluran® ABS because of its ability to match the specific colors and finishes it wanted for this exciting new product that is sweeping the marketplace. Representatives from Microsoft said that the cosmetic performance of Terluran® ABS exceeded their industrial design team's expectations, and has proven to process cost efficiently as well. BASF also had a logistic advantage over its competitors. With global manufacturing capabilities, BASF was able to "be near" Microsoft, wherever the Xbox™ was being made. All these value- added benefits made BASF the supplier of choice for Microsoft's Xbox™. As part of its presentation, Microsoft also showcased some of the hundreds of new games it brought to the marketplace in time for Christmas.
