On Monday the annual industry tour of our national board members started at the BASF in Ludwigshafen ?. Besides a tour through the analytical labs ?⚗️ and many fruitful discussions the focus laid on the planning of further projects and cooperations. Thanks to the BASF for the exciting day, the huge participation and the interest in our work!
