BASF Coatings and Ford vision of the future Innovative application systems and competences in color design, high quality coatings and materials recycling support Ford on the way to the future.
“Together, the future is ours!” This was the unequivocal
message from Susan DeSandre, Ford Director for Body and Chassis, American
Production Purchasing Operations, at a BASF press event on October 3 at
the Ford Rouge Plant, a historic Detroit-area site. BASF, and BASF Coatings,
in particular, is playing an important role in the Ford “Way Forward”
plan. BASF Coatings recently received three Gold World Excellence Awards
as an outstanding Ford supplier and global preferred supplier.
Jeffrey H. Helms, Ph.D., Manager Paint Engineering for Ford, explains how the relationship between Ford and BASF works in practice. “For instance, BASF Coatings helps us with its innovative application system, the ‘Three-Wet Full Body Paint System’. They also provide their competence in such areas as UV technology and color design, as well as their vast experience in material recycling and accelerated weathering tests.” This broad expertise was the basis for recognizing BASF Coatings with three Gold-level Ford World Excellence Awards for outstanding achievement in Germany, Spain and Canada. BASF was the only paint supplier to Ford to receive these awards. Ford also recognized the BASF team by adding it to the exclusive circle of 36 suppliers who make up the Ford “Aligned Business Framework,” which, in effect, means that BASF has earned the coveted status of a preferred supplier to Ford, not just in North America, but around the world. Jeff Leone continues to pull out all the stops for Ford, providing daily
encouragement and leadership to his team. “We received the World
Excellence Awards for top performance in cost efficiency, quality and
delivery,” says Leone. “We are committed to maintaining and
improving that performance as we continue to support our partners and
friends at Ford. Our goal is to be the number-one source of intelligent
solutions for the automotive industry by supplying superior products,
as well as innovative technology and application processes.” Leone
said that BASF - The Chemical Company The joint Ford and BASF media event took place in a setting with a unique
history in automotive development. The sprawling Rouge River manufacturing
complex near Detroit is where the Ford success story began. The Ford employees
working here are proud to be part of the Ford team at this historic site.
In addition to vehicle production, the protecting the environment is a
major priority at the Rouge site. This is not only attested to by the
use of eco-efficient products and processes, but also by the large green
spaces and ambitious environmental projects throughout the site---including
the world-famous “living roof”. As one of the world’s
“greenest” automotive production operations, the Rouge plant
is a shining example of the Ford Motor Company’s commitment to the
community, the world and the environment, and it is helping lead the company
forward to success.
