BASF Relocates Headquarters of Pharma Ingredients & Services Unit to the U.S.

As of October 1, Scott Thomson will assume the role of Senior Vice President in charge of BASF's Pharma Ingredients & Services business unit. Simultaneously, the company will be relocating the global headquarters of the Pharma Ingredients & Services business unit from Evionnaz, Switzerland, to Florham Park, New Jersey.

As of October 1, 2012, the global head of the unit, as well as three other worldwide management functions, will move from Switzerland to the United States. The move will take place in stages over a period of six months. The relocation will not affect the regional business and production units in Europe. That also applies to the production in Evionnaz.

Scott Thomson succeeds Martin Widmann, who will now head up the Fuel & Lubricant Solutions unit in Ludwigshafen, Germany. Until today, Thomson was Vice President Market & Customer Development North America at BASF Corporation in Florham Park, New Jersey.

Early this year BASF announced plans to move its Plant Science headquarters from Germany to Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA, and has started to relocate the global headquarters of its Dispersions & Pigments division to Hong Kong.
