BASF 3D Printing Solutions GmbH to Start Operations in September 2017

BASF SE plans to establish a new group company, BASF 3D Printing Solutions GmbH, as of Sept. 1, 2017. This wholly owned subsidiary of BASF New Business GmbH will be headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany, at the site of InnovationLab GmbH. It will focus on establishing and expanding the business with materials, system solutions, components and services in the field of 3D printing.
 
“The field of 3D printing for industrial applications is highly dynamic and still emerging. This means there is a need for agile, startup-like structures with interdisciplinary teams and quick decision-making processes. Combining the customer-focused 3D printing activities in one location at a dedicated business is an important success factor,” said Volker Hammes, managing director at BASF New Business and future managing director of BASF 3D Printing Solutions GmbH.
