BASF Aroma Ingredients hat dies direkt geteilt
End of July, an explosion followed by a fire happened at one of our plants in Ludwigshafen. It was a shock to all of us, and we are very relieved that nobody was seriously injured. It is our and my utmost priority that everyone is safe and that operations also run without incident. Detailed investigation by experts is ongoing and at the same time the cleaning, inspection and repair have started. I’m very thankful to and proud of all our teams that work so diligently and professionally on handling this incident. Subsequently on 7 August, we had to declare Force Majeure for certain aroma ingredients, as well as vitamin A, vitamin E, and carotenoid products. Our customers have been informed on how this affects them on the concerned products. I understand how challenging and frustrating this is for our customers. Since then, we have been in close communication with our customers and partners, to provide as much transparency and support as we can in this challenging situation. We are thankful for the support and patience from our customers and partners, and I believe by working together, we will achieve the best outcomes. Yesterday, we shared preliminary timing assumptions based on our current knowledge, which might be subject to change.
