On March 26, BASF held a commissioning ceremony in Zhanjiang City, announcing the full completion and operation of its BASF (Guangdong) Verbund Site.
The project has achieved accelerated and high-quality construction over the past three years. In 2024, its thermoplastic polyurethane unit was put into production, and the Verbund Tech Center was opened simultaneously. In 2025, several core chemical units were successively commissioned, and three new fragrance ingredients units completed mechanical completion. In January 2026, the site’s core ethylene complex was commissioned as scheduled, and the first batch of products from the polyethylene unit was successfully delivered. In just over seven years, the project has realized the settlement of 18 production units and 32 production lines.
The site’s green operation model has set a benchmark for the low-carbon transformation of China’s traditional heavy chemical industry, accelerated the shift of China’s chemical industry toward green, intelligent and high-end development, and supported the implementation of the national “dual carbon” goals.
