When mighty I. G. Farben was broken up by the Allies after World War II, the smallest and least known of the three major offshoots was a company called Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik. Like the two others, Bayer and Hoechst, B.A.S.F. proved to be a true heir to the vaunted Farben inventiveness and enterprise.

Now Europe's leading producer of raw materials for plastics and synthetic fibers, B.A.S.F. increased...
