BASF Agricultural Solutions is strengthening its presence in Romania by establishing more than 50 new global corporate and governance roles in Bucharest. The initiative supports the company’s transformation towards becoming a standalone agricultural business and achieving IPO readiness by 2027.

Bucharest has been selected as a strategic location to complement hiring at the company’s headquarters in Limburgerhof, Germany. The new teams will contribute to building the corporate capabilities required to operate independently as a global organization.

“These new roles are a key step in building the corporate and governance structures needed for the future of BASF Agricultural Solutions as a standalone company,” said Gabor Krasznai, Managing Director BASF S.R.L and Country Manager of BASF Agricultural Solutions in Romania and Moldova. “Romania offers a strong talent pool and an international business environment, making Bucharest an excellent location to support our transformation and long-term growth.”

The build‑up in Bucharest will primarily focus on Financial Reporting, Internal audit, Human Resources, Procurement and other governance functions, with additional roles currently under evaluation. First job postings are now open, and applications are being accepted and reviewed. The positions offer expert professionals the opportunity to take on global responsibilities while working in an international, purpose-driven environment.

Where certain tasks are currently handled centrally, the new set-up will complement or redesign these processes to ensure a high level of autonomy from BASF Group in the future. The Bucharest-based functions will work in close alignment with the other headquarter teams in Limburgerhof as well as other selected global locations.
