Following the introduction of the Basf corporate brand for European polyurethane sites, announced in December 2009, the names of all the Elastogran European companies are now changing, starting from the German headquarters that, from March 1st, has become Basf Polyurethanes. As far as Italy is concerned, at the beginning of April, Elastogran Italia will be renamed Basf Poliuretani. The name change will not affect the legal form of the companies. Nor will the renaming affect existing agreements such as employment or customer contracts. The Elastogran name lives on in the Basf brand PU Solutions Elastogran, introduced by the multinational company as a continuity sign within the European market of polyurethane systems.
