BASF has expanded the production of printed packaging raw materials to southern China.

Providing a richer product portfolio to serve the growing packaging market in southern China
shorter lead times and closer supply of raw materials to customers
shorter shipping distances, energy savings and reduced carbon emissions
BASF, as the market leader in water-based dispersions and resins in the printing and packaging industry in Greater China, has expanded its decentralized product portfolio at its production base in Huizhou, South China. The expansion complements the capacity of BASF's Shanghai production site, which serves the east China market. This will support the fast-growing packaging industry in southern China by reducing the distance between origin and service points, effectively helping customers reduce lead times, while reducing CO2 emissions

due to shorter shipping distances.
Sylvain Huguenard, Vice President of Resin and Additives Business Management, Dispersion and Resin, BASF, said: "Closer proximity to a growing customer base in southern China reflects an important part of BASF's corporate strategy. We will provide customers with more flexible and efficient services to help customers reduce logistics costs and improve production efficiency. Customers in southern China have been positive about this feedback, working closely together to ensure that the Guangdong Huizhou base produces high-quality qualified products.
BASF successfully produced the first Joncryl ® products at its Huizhou production site in March 2020, with a range of resin and dispersion combinations for water-based inks, water-based light oils, functional packaging coatings and wood coatings.
