“We expect that contracts would be honoured also if there were a brand-new proprietor,” BASF board member Martin Brudermueller claimed Wednesday.

BASF isn’t really concerned that its plant defense company would be deteriorated by a Bayer/Monsanto tie-up, Mr. Brudermueller claimed, noting the device’s technologies and also complete pipeline. “We’re not going to run off with our tail in between our legs as a result of just what’s occurring around us.”

Bayer last month made an all-cash deal to get Monsanto Co. for $ 62 billion, which Monsanto turned down as too reduced. The proposal for Monsanto comes on the heels of a combination in the seed market, consisting of ChemChina’s quote for Syngenta AG (SYT).
