BASF to Stop Hydrosulfite Production at Ludwigshafen Site, Affecting 65 Jobs
BASF, a global chemical company, has announced its intention to discontinue the production of hydrosulfites at its Ludwigshafen site. This decision, part of a strategic review, aims to focus on long-term value creation and profitability in a challenging economic environment.
The move will impact approximately 65 employees currently working in the hydrosulfite business. BASF has committed to supporting these employees in finding new positions within the group. The affected products include hydrosulfite F, HydroBlue 90, HydroBlue 92, Hydrosulfit Evo, Adlite, and Blankit. These chemicals are used as reducing agents in the textile industry's dyeing processes and as bleaching agents in the pulp and paper industry.
Dr. Ramkumar Dhruva, head of the Monomers division at BASF, has stated that this strategic shift is crucial for maintaining competitiveness in the current economic climate. Companies and institutions in both the pulp and paper industry, as well as the textile industry, may be affected by this decision, as hydrosulfites play a significant role in their production processes.
BASF's decision to discontinue hydrosulfite production at the Ludwigshafen site is a strategic move aimed at enhancing long-term value creation and profitability. While the decision impacts around 65 employees and potentially affects companies in the textile and pulp and paper industries, BASF is committed to supporting its employees and ensuring a smooth transition.
