“BASF and Subaru worked together under an extremely aggressive timeframe to convert the plant from solvent to water – from shut down to full production start up – within two weeks,” said Schmondiuk. The standard timeframe for such a conversion is several months.

As a leading automotive paint supplier, BASF Coatings North America supplies nearly all major OEMs based in North America.
