Production sites
Ludwigshafen, Germany
The BASF Group's main production site is located next to the Rhine River, in Ludwigshafen, Germany. Ludwigshafen is the company's largest production site, global headquarter, and the center of its research activities.
Since its founding some 140 years ago, BASF's Ludwigshafen site has developed into the world's largest integrated chemical complex. 2,000 buildings stretch across the seven square kilometer site, where approximately 8,000 commercial products are manufactured. Roughly eight million metric tons of products are produced at the site every year.

The site's historic integrated production system is the starting point for BASF's Verbund integration strategy.
All 250 production plants are intricately linked with one another. More than 2,000 kilometers of above-ground piping ensure short transport distances for products and energy in the form of heating gas or steam. |

Several plants within the huge Ludwigshafen area are producing vitamins, carotenoids, organic acids and enzymes. Special facilities are dedicated to the development and production of innovative ingredient formulations.
