Following the Ciba acquisition, BASF is repositioning its global pigments business ‘by eliminating specific products and adapting production capacities to market developments’.
As a consequence, approximately 500 of the current 2,900 jobs in global pigment production will be redundant. The measures, which mainly concern azo pigments and phthalocyanines, will begin this year and are expected to be completed by 2013.
About 320 positions will be cut In Europe, mainly at the sites in Paisley, UK, and Grenzach, Germany.
