Polyurethane Chemicals Production Facility to Close in Texas

Seattle, WA, USA--(Jobwerx News)--Carrollton, Texas chemicals plant to be consolidated into other BASF polyurethane systems locations in the United States.

BASF will close its polyurethane systems production facility in Carrollton, Texas, by mid-2006. Production currently based there will be consolidated into other BASF polyurethane systems locations in the U.S. Approximately 15 jobs will be affected.

"This action is necessary to improve our efficiency and cost competitiveness," said Bill Bernstein, Group Vice President of BASF's Polyurethanes business in North America. "We regret the impact this will have on our Carrollton employees, who have worked productively, safely and professionally. We are committed to providing the necessary support services to assist our employees during the transition."

Bernstein said this action is part of BASF's restructuring program in North America to reduce fixed costs through a broad range of projects designed to optimize business and site operations. He added that customers will experience no disruption of service during the transition process.

BASF's Carrollton facility is a "system house" that produces urethane-based chemical formulations used to produce a broad range of applications, such as spray-applied polyurethane foams for insulating buildings.
