Well this is BASF:

BASF operates in a variety of markets. Its business is organized in the segments Chemicals, Plastics, Performance Products, Functional Solutions, Agricultural Solutions and Oil & Gas. The company occasionally advertises to the public using the tagline "At BASF, we don't make a lot of the products you buy. We make a lot of the products you buy better." Its slogan is "BASF The Chemical Company".

As for the disks, I would have to find them. The only info I found online was disk arrays.

They seem to do a good job on everything except sparkplugs. After all these years how did they manage to screw that up!

Robert Bosch GmbH was originally a mechanical products company that became an electro-mechanical products company and as electro-mechanical products became more widespread, so did their product line. I almost for them in 2003.
