Global Presence

Pavlovskij Posad

As the first international paint manufacturer to operate in Russia, BASF Coatings  marked the launch of operations at its new production site in the country at a ceremony in July 2008. The new facility at Pavlovskij Posad, 60 kilometers east of Moscow, has an annual production capacity of 6,000 tonnes of paints (basecoats and clearcoats). Production capacity can be expanded to over 20,000 tonnes at any time. BASF Coatings is a leading producer of automotive OEM coatings in Europe. With this site, one of Europe’s most modern facilities, it can now supply the automotive industry in the growth market of Russia locally and thus promptly. At the Pavlovskij Posad site a staff of 50 will be employed in production, the quality test lab, the warehouse, the workshop and administration.

 The quality of the products and production processes from the Pavlovskij Posad site has been certified. The site meets the automotive industry’s high standards for quality for suppliers with regard to products and processes in every respect. This was the conclusion of neutral auditors after they intensively tested the site of a period of several days. The Pavlovskij Posad site thus passed the DQS audit to test conformity with automotive standard TS 16949. As part of the process, certification according to ISO 9001:2000 was also successfully obtained.

For BASF Coatings, the new Russian site is the first Greenfield facility since the construction of the Guadalajara site 25 years ago. "Greenfield construction" refers to completely new construction of a production site on previously unused land.
