巴斯夫计划在阿塞拜疆石化行业实现增长

据Azernews新闻网站4月14日消息 巴斯夫阿塞拜疆有限责任公司总经理Tolga Baysinop对当地媒体表示，德国巴斯夫公司的目标是在阿塞拜疆的石化行业实现增长。

“2020年，我们的目标是在石化行业实现增长，这样我们将在非石油行业的发展中发挥作用。对于非石油部门来说，廉价和高质量的原材料是生产成功最终产品的关键。作为巴斯夫，我们计划向食品饮料、人类营养、制药、纺织、汽车等行业供应产品，这些行业近年来吸引了大量投资。”

总经理指出，巴斯夫目前与阿塞拜疆农业和石化部门的客户签订了合同。

“这些部门近年来得到了显著发展。作为巴斯夫，我们不仅在产品方面，而且在支持农民保护收成和增加产量方面有着深厚的专业知识。我们很高兴能够向阿塞拜疆农民介绍这方面的专业知识。”

至于公司以较低油价开展的业务，Tolga Baysinop表示，巴斯夫预计2020年布伦特原油的平均油价为60美元/桶。

“目前油价的疲软导致关键原材料价格下降，这可能对盈利产生积极影响。这一程度将取决于这些较低的油价将持续多久，以及化学品的供需情况。”

巴斯夫的产品组合分为六个部分：化学品、材料、工业解决方案、表面技术、营养和护理以及农业解决方案。
