BASF appoints new CEO

Injection molding specialist BASF has appointed Dr Martin Brudermüller as its new chairman of the board of executive directors of BASF SE. At the Annual Meeting, Dr Kurt Bock, the previous chairman, presented his successor with a 3D-printed model of a symbolic scene from BASF’s headquarters in Ludwigshafen. The miniature is made of polyamide 2200 and was manufactured using a selective laser sintering process.

Since 2006, Brudermüller has been a member of the board of BASF SE, since 2011, vice chairman, and since 2015, CTO.
