German-based chemicals group BASF has selected Fluor Corporation as its global engineering partner for future chemical and petrochemical plant projects around the world.

Fluor is a global engineering and construction firm that designs and builds some of the world's most complex projects. It creates and delivers innovative and integrated solutions for its clients in engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, maintenance and project management on a global basis.

The services agreement was signed at BASF’s chemicals complex and headquarters in Ludwigshafen, Germany, by Peter Oosterveer, Fluor’s chief operating officer, Martin Buschbacher, BASF senior vice president of Global Indirect Procurement, Wolfgang Haas, BASF president of Legal, Taxes and Insurance, and Volker Knabe, BASF president of Engineering and Maintenance.

The deal includes conceptual and front-end engineering, detailed engineering, procurement, project management, construction management and other services.

“We are delighted to sign this global agreement with BASF as it marks a successful working partnership established over the past four years through projects undertaken under three regional agreements – Asia, Europe and North America,” said Oosterveer.

“We will now be able to leverage Fluor’s global capabilities to provide integrated solutions and deliver chemical and petrochemical plant projects for BASF anywhere in the world,” he added.
