BASF Coatings has commissioned a state-of-the-art production plant for automotive OEM coatings at its Muenster site in Germany, marking a strategic milestone to reinforce its long-term competitiveness in the high-volume coatings segment.

The new facility at BASF Coatings’ Muenster site is designed to produce high-runner products.

A symbolic key was handed over to mark the inauguration of the new production plant for automotive OEM coatings.

This is one of the most transformative investments of BASF Coatings in the past five years. From the initial conceptual studies in 2019, through two and a half years of construction, to the start of regular production at the present, this project has been shaped by the deep expertise of BASF Coatings teams.

"We have invested in a more advanced process with the new facility, which ensures high and consistent product quality and stability. In this way, our customers benefit from our expertise, knowledge, and experience,” said Nils Lessmann, Senior Vice President, Global Operations Paint & Resin.

The new facility is designed to produce high-runner products, namely colors that currently represent the majority of market demand, and ensure consistent product quality and enhanced production efficiency.

Moreover, the new plant is designed to optimize energy consumption, thereby reducing CO₂ emissions, marking another important step in BASF Coatings’ sustainability journey. Since 2022, the Muenster site has been powered entirely by renewable wind energy, saving approximately 4,000 tons of CO₂ annually.

Muenster joins other BASF Coatings sites across Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America that operate on 100% renewable electricity.
