The BASF Coatings division in China has been awarded the ‘Excellent Supplier 2014: Leading Technology Award’ by Shanghai General Motors Co., Ltd (SGM).

As the only coatings supplier to win the annual award, BASF Shanghai Coatings Co., Ltd. stood out from around 4,000 SGM suppliers due to its excellent on-site service and leading technology.

“We appreciate our long-term partnership with BASF and are impressed by its efficient on-site service, which supports our development and sustainability goal,” said Adam Chang, senior manager purchasing at SGM.

Since 1998, BASF has been a reliable partner to SGM supplying a full range of automotive coating products, including waterborne coatings and CathoGuard 800 e-coat.

“The latest e-coat product line CathoGuard 800 does not contain tin and is recognized for its low solvent content,” BASF said.
