                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 1, 2018

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
BASF Corporation for receiving the 2018 Commerce City Business on the 
Move Award.
  The Business on the Move Award recognizes businesses bringing new 
employment, growth in sales, or new capital investment to Commerce 
City. BASF currently employs 17,500 people across North America and 
114,000 worldwide, and operates across five segments--Chemicals, 
Performance Products, Functional Materials & Solutions, Agricultural 
Solutions and Oil and Gas. These segments create chemistry for a 
sustainable future in nearly all sectors and almost every country in 
the world. In Commerce City, BASF Corporation's local focus is in the 
area of construction chemicals. The company operates out of a 150,000 
square-feet facility with almost 150 employees including the addition 
of 30 new employees in 2017.
  BASF is extremely involved in the community where their employees 
engage in BASF Kids Lab, Site Safety Day, Boy & Girl Scouts, and 
Engineer's Without Borders.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to the BASF for this well-
deserved recognition by Commerce City.
