About Us
About Us


  • In April 2009, Ciba became part of BASF.

  • Ciba creates effects to improve the quality of life.

  • Our specialty chemicals, added in small quantities, improve existing or add new qualities to materials at every stage of their production processes.

  • As well as products, we offer a wide range of knowledge-based services and expertise, providing customers with complete solutions to enhance their businesses.

  • We serve several major markets including the Automotive, Packaging, Home & Personal Care, Paper and Printing, Construction, Electronics, Water Treatment and Agriculture industries.

  • Ciba (SWX: CIBN) is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland. We employ 12,500 people worldwide.

  • In 2008, the Company’s continued operations generated sales of CHF 5.9 billion and invested more than CHF 230 million in R&D.

  • We are organized in three market-focused segments: Plastic Additives, Coating Effects and Water & Paper Treatment.

  • The company became independent in January 1997, having been formed from the specialty chemical operations of the former Ciba-Geigy Limited when that company merged with Sandoz Limited to form Novartis AG.
