BASF says Leuna-Miramid, which has 140 employees and annual capacity of 30,000 metric tons, is an "ideal fit" with its engineering plastics business. BASF says the European engineering polymer market is growing at a 5% annual rate. It purchased Honeywell's engineering plastics business and Ticona's nylon 6,6 business in 2003.
