BASF to Make the Smokestacks Shorter

As the old BASF commercials note, they don’t make the ball, they make it bouncier. In Enka, North Carolina, at the Colbond-owned site in which BASF leases space, BASF is finally going to take down the old 200-foot-tall smokestacks as part of the agreement in Colbond’s 2001 full acquisition of the site. It’s an interesting story of a town’s manufacturing history.
