A Chinese staff is seen at the head office of BASF (China) Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, China, November 3, 2010. BASF aims to invest more than €1bn ($1.3bn) in additional plants in China in the next few years, as the worlds largest chemicals maker by sales eyes expansion in the rapidly growing region where its factories are running at full steam. The German chemicals maker will invest €2bn-plus into its 100 Asian sites by 2014, at least half of which will flow into China, Martin Bruderm¨¹ller, executive board member and head of BASFs Asia-Pacific operations said. We are certainly in discussions about building new plants in Asia. If you want to keep the growth pace you have to invest, said Mr Bruderm¨¹ller, the Hong Kong-based manager who next year will become deputy chief executive. We build up capacity where our markets are, he added.
