Division of Chemical Company Moves To Woodbridge

One division of a worldwide chemical company has moved its global headquarters to Woodbridge.

BASF’s Catalysts Division moved to its new global headquarters in the Wood Avenue Corporate Center in the Iselin section of town, where 240 staffers will work in 60,000 square feet of office space, township officials said.

Mayor John E. McCormac and the Woodbridge Redevelopment Agency were expected to hold a ceremony earlier this week to welcome workers to 33 Wood Ave.

BASF already has R&D facilities at 25 Middlesex Turnpike and operations and offices at 101 Wood Avenue, a township news release said.

Among those who were slated to attend the ceremony were McCormac, Kenneth Lane, President, BASF Catalysts Division Caroline Ehrlich, Executive Director, Woodbridge Redevelopment Agency, Marta Lefsky, Director, Planning & Development and other local officials.
