BASF, new shareholder of Butachimie

31/01/2020

Today we are pleased to announce the arrival of BASF, along with Invista, as the new partner of Butachimie.

With the careful support of our two partners, we look forward to contributing to innovative and sustainable solutions thanks to our key ingredient, Adiponitrile (ADN).

The women and men of Butachimie have been working relentlessly for more than 45 years to develop their work skills enabling us to consolidate our position as the world’s largest producer of ADN, which is essential for production in many industries (automotive, textiles, construction, etc.).

Equipped with Invista’s latest generation of ADN technology as of the end of 2019, we are determined to meet the challenges of the 21st century!
