Legal entity consolidation in North America
During the past four years, we have expanded BASF's ability to provide the best technology and solutions for our customers with several strategic acquisitions. The process of integrating these businesses into BASF's operations has created an opportunity for us to consolidate our legal entity structure to make it easier for you to do business with us.
Effective April 1, 2010, the operations of the following U.S. subsidiaries will be transferred to BASF Corporation:
- BASF Beauty Care Solutions, LLC;
- BASF Catalysts LLC;
- BASF Construction Chemicals LLC;
- BASF Polyurethane Foam Enterprises LLC;
- BASF Sparks LLC; and
- Ciba Corporation
In Canada, the operations of Ciba Canada Ltd. will be transferred to BASF Canada Inc. and Ciba Metasheen will be renamed BASF Metasheen.
In Mexico, the operations of Ciba S.A. de C.V. will be transferred to BASF Mexicana S.A. de C.V. However, the affected businesses will continue to operate as they have in the past.
As a result of these changes, you will begin to see the new legal entity name on correspondence, commercial documents, promotional information, and other publications related to each of these business lines.
If you have any questions, please contact your BASF customer service or sales representative.
