BASF to build concrete additives production facility in Kyiv, Ukraine

German chemical company BASF has unveiled its plans to set up a new concrete additives production facility in Kyiv, Ukraine. To be located in Obukhiv, the production facility will be built with an investment of €2m and is expected to commence production next year. BASF’s Ukraine managing director (CEO) Andreas Lier was quoted by Interfax-Ukraine as saying: “This is our first investment in Ukraine. If it is successful, we will continue investing in this production. “We have already been present in the Ukrainian market with these products for several years. We have been importing this product for a long time, but now we’ve decided we want to produce it here.”
