Under an agreement signed between BASF and Domo Chemicals, BASF has the right to acquire Domo Chemicals’ stake of 49 % in the Alsachimie joint venture of which BASF holds 51 %.

Waterloo/Belgium – BASF and Domo Chemicals have signed an agreement giving BASF the right to take over Domo Chemicals’ 49 % share of the Alsachimie joint venture, in which BASF currently holds 51 %. According to applicable laws, the intended transaction is subject to consultations with the relevant social bodies of Alsachimie, following which both companies would enter into a binding purchase agreement. Pending these consultations, BASF and Domo Chemicals expect to close the transaction by mid-2025.

For BASF, the 100 % ownership of Alsachimie would be a strategic step to complement the company’s strong footprint at the site in Chalampé, France, its European hub for polyamide (PA) 6.6 precursor production. As the sole owner of Alsachimie, BASF would be able to further strengthen its production setup and maximize backward integration into key raw materials in the PA 6.6 value chain.
