BASF SE is the largest chemical company in the world and is headquartered in Germany. BASF originally stood for Badische Anilin- und Soda-Fabrik ( ). Today, the four letters are a registered trademark and the company is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, and Zurich Stock Exchange. The company delisted its ADR from the New York Stock Exchange in September 2007.

The BASF Group comprises subsidiaries and joint ventures in more than 80 countries and operates six integrated production sites and 390 other production sites in Europe, Asia, Australia, Americas and Africa. Its headquarters is located in Ludwigshafen am Rhein (Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany). BASF has customers in over 200 countries and supplies products to a wide variety of industries. Despite its size and global presence BASF receives little public attention as it abandoned consumer product lines in the 90s.

At the end of 2010, the company employed more than 109,000 people, with over 50,800 in Germany alone. In 2010, BASF posted sales of -63.87 billion and income from operations before special items of about -8.1 billion. The company is currently expanding its international activities with a particular focus on Asia. Between 1990 and 2005, the company invested -5.6 billion in Asia, for example in sites near Nanjing and Shanghai, China and Mangalore in India.

Ein Toter und ein sehr hoher Sachschaden sind die Bilanz eines schweren Verkehrsunfalls, der sich AM 24 . 06. 10 gegen 11.50 Uhr auf der A 61, Fahrtrichtung Koblenz, ca. 300 Meter nach dem Ludwigshafener Kreuz ereignete. Dort war ein LKW ungebremst auf einen Klein-LKW aufgefahren und hatte diesen mit voller Wucht auf einen vorausfahrenden Autotransporter geschoben. Dieser kippte daraufhin um und fing voll zu brennen an. An dem Unfall waren vier Fahrzeuge, 2LKW, ein Klein-LKW mit Anhänger und ein Autotransporter beteiligt. Aufgrund eines verkehrsbedingten Rückstaus hatte ein LKW-Fahrer das Stauende übersehen, war aufgefahren und hat die Fahrzeuge zusammengeschoben. Der auffahrende LKW ist dabei ebenfalls in Brand geraten. Wegen der starken Rauchentwicklung wurde ein Messfahrzeug der BASF wegen der eventuellen Schadstoffbelastungen für die angrenzend Wohngebiete, insbesondere Maxdorf und Ruchheim, eingesetzt. Dem Messeergebnis nach bestand dies Gefährdung jedoch nicht. Die zudem wahrzunehmenden Explosionsgeräusche können derzeit noch nicht zugeordnet werden, möglicherweise kann es sich dabei auch um platzende Reifen gehandelt haben. Wegen der möglichen Gefährdung für die bewohnten Gebiete war zunächst der Bereich des gesamten Autobahnkreuzes Ludwigshafen voll gesperrt. Nachdem fest stand, dass kein Gefahrguttransporter an dem Unfall beteiligt war, wurde diese Teilstrecke wieder frei gegeben. Die A 61 bleibt an der Unfallstelle bis zur Beendigung der Bergungsarbeiten in <b>...</b>
