The world’s largest chemical company has clarified the successor to the previous CEO, Martin Brudermüller: from the end of April, long-time BASF manager Markus Kamieth will lead the group.
Markus Kamieth, the board member responsible for BASF’s Asian business, will be at the helm of the world chemical company in the future. Kamieth will replace the previous CEO Martin Brudermüller at the end of April, as BASF announced on Wednesday. The 53-year-old Kamieth was considered the favorite for the position alongside technology director Melanie Maas-Brunner.

The doctor of chemistry has been working for BASF since 1999, after less than two years he became a member of the board of directors, and he has been a member of the board himself since 2017.
The 62-year-old Martin Brudermüller has been CEO since 2018. At the end of the general meeting on April 25th, he will say goodbye to BASF. Brudermüller will then lead the Mercedes-Benz supervisory board.
