BASF Corp. has implemented a new distributor network to support customers of its Performance Chemicals for Coatings, Plastics and Specialties business in the U.S.

“We believe that we now have a structure in place to better serve the needs of our customers,” said Thierry Chevrier, director of Performance Chemicals-Pigments and Additives for BASF in North America. “The new distributor network was necessary to consolidate the services previously provided by BASF and the former Engelhard business.”
