Company to consolidate manufacturing activities in Louisiana.
BASF will invest $20 million over the next 18 months to create a world-class manufacturing environment for activated alumina adsorbent products at its existing production facility in Vidalia, La. The project is designed to consolidate regional manufacturing activities in a single, state-of-the-art operating environment.
BASF plans to increase production capacity and operating capabilities in Vidalia, eventually transferring production from its smaller adsorbents plant in Port Allen, La. As a result, the Port Allen facility is expected to discontinue operations in 2013 and production assets will be duplicated in Vidalia, either by relocating existing assets or installing enhanced new assets.
Many facilities handle dangerous processes and products on a daily basis. Keeping everything under control demands well-trained people working with the best equipment.
