BASF sets up HQ for nutrition and health division
The chemicals company announced in August that it is uniting its human and animal nutrition operations, with products including vitamins, carotenoids and enzymes, and pharmaceuticals, into a single business structure.
“The Nutrition & Health team is currently working at different locations in Ludwigshafen and Limburgerhof. At the Lampertheim site we can
bring together the whole team at short notice. We will benefit from the existing good infrastructure at the site. At the same time, the
geographical proximity to corporate headquarters in Ludwigshafen, where many of our production plants and labs are situated, will have a
positive effect,” said Walter Dissinger, head of the Nutrition & Health division.
BASF has also said that parts of the Cognis business, which it is acquiring subject to regulatory approval, will be integrated into the nutrition and health division. No indication has been given as to whether Cognis jobs will move to Lamperthaim.
