BASF is examining strategic options for its subsidiary trinamiX GmbH. trinamiX specializes in biometric imaging and mobile material analysis. These activities are not part of BASF’s core business, on which the company is focusing as part of the implementation of its new strategy.

In the reassessment of trinamiX, the focus is on restructuring, cost efficiency and value optimization. The strategic measures may also include the sale of individual business areas. In this context, there will be a change in management. The previous Managing Director Dr. Ingmar Bruder, who has accompanied the development of trinamiX from the initial idea to the present day, left the management board on January 26, 2026. He will be succeeded on February 1, 2026, by Dr. Lothar Laupichler, who most recently headed BASF’s global electronic materials business. Sören Bauermann, who has been part of the trinamiX management team since 2023, will remain on the management board.

trinamiX GmbH develops solutions based on biometric imaging and mobile NIR spectroscopy. It was founded in 2015 as a subsidiary of BASF SE and is headquartered in Ludwigshafen, Germany. It employs around 200 people worldwide and holds more than 800 patents and patent applications.
