Chonburi/Thailand – BASF has recently announced the expansion of its Alkyl Polyglucosides (APGs) footprint in Asia with a new plant at the Bangpakong site in Thailand. The enhancement is a strategic response to strengthen its position in a growth geography and serve customers with greater agility and more flexibility from a robust regional network.

“This investment reinforces our commitment to being a reliable partner for customers across personal care, home care, and industrial sectors,” said Mary Kurian, President Care Chemicals. “By expanding our APG production in Thailand, we’re enhancing regional supply capabilities, enabling faster, more flexible service, and supporting the growing demand for sustainable, high-performance solutions.”

BASF currently produces APGs at sites in Düsseldorf, Germany; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Jinshan, China—forming a robust global network to meet diverse industry needs. The expansion in Bangpakong strengthens regional supply capabilities in Asia, while a new APG production line in Cincinnati, scheduled for completion in 2026, will further enhance capacity in North America. Together, these investments reinforce Care Chemicals’ commitment to delivering sustainable, high-performance solutions with speed, flexibility, and reliability across key markets.
