BASF currently produces APGs at sites in Duesseldorf, Germany; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Jinshan, China—forming a robust global network to meet diverse industry needs. The expansion in Bangpakong strengthens regional supply capabilities in Asia, while a new APG production line in Cincinnati, scheduled for completion in 2026, will further enhance capacity in North America. Together, these investments reinforce Care Chemicals' commitment to delivering sustainable, high-performance solutions with speed, flexibility, and reliability across key markets.

APGs are bio-based and readily biodegradable, and mild secondary surfactants derived from 100 percent natural, renewable feedstocks. In addition, their sustainable and high-performance profile, along with the non-ionic nature of APGs makes them highly versatile for formulation with other surfactants. They are widely used in various applications across personal care, home care, industrial & institutional cleaning, industrial formulations, and agricultural markets.
