BASF Corporation Pension Plan

BASF Corporation Pension Plan

BASF Corporation Pension Plan was established to deliver retirement benefits exclusively to eligible employees in the United States. Its parent, BASF SE, is headquartered in Ludwigshafen, Germany. The plan allocates 21 percent of assets to private equity and maintains positions in public vehicles including GMO Funds. Confirmed holdings include a 16 percent minority stake in Stahl Group. Geographic exposure centers on North America with additional real-asset interests in Canada. Direct holdings encompass the 325,000 square foot headquarters at 100 Park Avenue and pigment production facilities in Newport, Delaware. The plan reports 2,095 million USD in assets. It maintains the BASF Corporation Foundation, founded in 1953, which directs grants toward science education and environmental programs in the United States. No recent operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The plan functions as a standalone corporate pension vehicle rather than an integrated group retirement platform, with separate governance from BASF SE's European arrangements.
