It is hoped that the two sides will take R & D and innovation as the core, promote the deep embedding of personnel, organizations and mechanisms, enhance joint research in the field of high-performance coatings on the basis of good cooperation in the existing gypsum board, waterproof and construction coating products business, build a consortium of innovation and industrialization, deepen cooperation in broader fields such as international research, and promote the establishment of omni-directional, in-depth and sustainable strategic cooperative relations.

Carsten Hoehne expressed his gratitude to the warm welcome extended by North New Building Materials. He said that the research direction of "high-end, digital, environmentally friendly and international" of Beixin building materials is highly consistent with BASF's research concept. In the future, the cooperation between the two parties will grasp two major basic points: one is to rely on BASF's global operation network to help Beixin Building Materials steadily advance its international layout; the other is to focus on key technical fields such as manufacturing coatings, increase joint research and research efforts, and give full play to the methodology and resources of both parties Advantages, collaborative research, and jointly create differentiated items and system solutions to help both parties achieve high-condition research.

Before the meeting, Carsten Hoehne and his party visited Beixin Building Materials Exhibition Hall and Prefabricated Building and Decoration System Integration Demonstration Room to learn greater about Beixin Building Materials's high-condition practical achievements in environmentally friendly building materials, full-product system solutions, intelligent manufacturing, etc.

Participants also included: Huang Yi, General Manager of BASF Greater China Dispersion and Resin Department, Wang Sen, Senior Technical Manager Zhai Yanan, and Gao Xukang, Technical Sales Manager; Xiang Weifeng, General Manager of Beixin Building Materials Joint Procurement and Project regulation Department (Supply Chain Center), Zhang He, Deputy General Manager of Beixin Coatings, Shi Sumei, Procurement Director of Beixin Building Materials Joint Procurement and Project regulation Department (Supply Chain Center), etc.
