BASF expands production of printing and packaging materials in South China

As the market leader in aqueous dispersions and resins for the printing and packaging industry in Greater China, BASF has expanded its dispersion product portfolio at its production base in Huizhou, South China. This expansion is a supplement to the production capacity of BASF's Shanghai production base, which mainly serves the market in East China. This move will support the rapid development of the packaging industry in South China. By shortening the distance between the origin and the service point, it will effectively help customers shorten the delivery time. At the same time, due to the shorter transportation distance, lower energy consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Sylvain Huguenard, Vice President of Resin and Auxiliary Business Management, Asia Pacific Region, BASF Dispersions and Resins Division, said: "Closer to the growing customer base in South China reflects an important part of BASF's corporate strategy. We will provide customers with More flexible and efficient services help customers reduce logistics costs and increase production efficiency. Customers in South China have responded positively to this move, and everyone works closely to ensure that the Huizhou base in Guangdong produces qualified products of excellent quality."

The brand series has a combination of many resins and dispersions and is used in many fields such as water-based inks, water-based varnishes, functional packaging coatings and wood coatings. .
