Global Presence

Tortuguitas

Tortuguitas is located 35 kilometers to the north of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. The range of products that BASF Coatings manufactures at Tortuguitas includes automotive OEM coatings, automotive refinish products and industrial coatings as well as architectural coatings. The production volume in 2006 was 18,600 metric tons. The site covers an area of nearly 130,000 square meters and has been expanded again and again since BASF Coatings acquired it in 1988. At first, storage capacities were increased substantially, then followed the expansion of the research labs and of the coatings and resin production plants. In the mid-90ies, a 7,000 square meter distribution center was erected. Besides Coatings-related activities, there is also a premix production plant and a technical assistance lab for textile and leather products on the premises. The current number of employees at the site is 245, and 153 of them belong to the Coatings Division.
