BASF has expanded production capacity for dispersions at its site in Durban, South Africa, strengthening its ability to supply customers with dispersions used in architectural coatings, construction materials, and the paper industry.
A modern application laboratory has also been established on-site to enhance technical service capabilities, enabling closer collaboration with customers and stronger support for formulation development.
The Durban site supplies customers across East, West, and Southern Africa and is one of six dispersion production locations within BASF’s EMEA network.
“Our investment in Durban underscores our strong commitment to the dynamic African region and our local customers. Together with the recent capacity expansion in Dilovasi, Türkiye, and the modernization of the Ludwigshafen plant, we are strengthening our position as a leading supplier of high-quality dispersions across EMEA enhancing our capability to support our customers’ growth and innovations” says Dr. Jörg Niebergall, senior vice president, Dispersions Europe.
