PROFILE |
 |
BASF AG knows we're a chemically dependent world. The company is the world's largest chemical maker, just ahead of DuPont and Bayer. BASF's plastics and fibers unit (30% of sales) produces polyolefins and polystyrene, while its colorants and finishing products business (20%) makes dyes, coatings, and adhesives. Other businesses include agricultural and nutrition products (additives, herbicides), basic and intermediate chemicals (reactants, additives, solvents, catalysts), and oil and gas exploration and production (through subsidiary Wintershall AG). Europe accounts for nearly 60% of BASF's sales. BASF sold its pharmaceutical operations (Knoll Pharmaceutical) in 2001 to concentrate on its core chemical operations.
