BASF's Verbund traces its roots to the integrated system of production at the company’s original site in Ludwigshafen, Germany, where integrated production structures were developed as early as the end of the 19th century.

Verbund stands for integration and networking, and is one of BASF’s most important strengths.
By linking manufacturing plants, value-adding chains of production can be created where by-products and waste from one plant serve as the raw materials in other plants - the Production Verbund. It was also clear that through this network of plants, energy and resources could be conserved in an Energy Verbund. What started in Ludwigshafen has been implemented and fine-tuned at BASF’s sites around the world.
Today, the Verbund strategy provides the basis for a wide range of activities and has become a cornerstone of the company’s strategy. It is reflected, for example, in BASF’s coordinated approach to purchasing, which allows the company to strengthen its market position and secure a stable supply of raw materials.
Crucial to this strategy are BASF’s employees, who make up a worldwide Know-how Verbund by sharing and exchanging ideas.
And the Verbund does not stop with the company. It includes BASF’s business partners, customers and the communities in which the company operates. For BASF, the aim here is to work with these groups to develop innovative solutions in accordance with the guiding principles of sustainable development.
