BASF has been a committed partner to China since 1885. The company started its local operations by selling textile dyes to the flourishing cotton cloth market, and is now one of the leading foreign investors in the Chinese chemical industry.


Since 1999, BASF has increased its sales by an average of around 20 percent per year in China (Greater China: Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan). In 2010, it achieved sales of more than €5.8 billion with about 6,980 employees. This means China is currently BASF's third largest market after Germany and the United States.

 
BASF currently operates 26 wholly owned subsidiaries and 14 joint ventures in Greater China and maintains a number of sales offices, for example in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Qingdao and Taipei.
