The contract, which will run over seven years for a total value of around €200m, extends BASF's long-standing cooperation with BT. The sites of chemical company Ciba, which BASF acquired, will also be networked by BT.
The chemicals company started using BT in 2004 to implement a managed network to cut costs, improve network flexibility and cope with future data requirements.
