Trade of household textiles.

The company Tessiture Pietro Radici is founded (1941) for wool blanket manufacturing.

First phase of horizontal diversification. Beginning of carpet production.

Second phase of horizontal diversification, production of fabrics for clothing and flooring.PA6 polymerization starting from caprolactam.

Diversification through vertical integration with polymers and synthetic fibres.Polyester polymerization and spinning.

Production of chemical intermediates (adipic acid – hexamethylendiamine) and polymeri-zation of PA66. Beginning of industrial activities linked to engineering plastics and to the production of yarns for synthetic grass.Development of the engineering business (turnkey plants).

RADICI HISTORY

Globalization of the engineering plastics business. Development of the fibre market in South America: acrylic and polyamide production. Further development in strategic business areas and further vertical integration at earlier stages in the process. Beginning of elastane (spandex) production and strengthening of the chemicals-plastics businesses.

Consolidation of RadiciGroup’s global position in its polyamide core business, especially in the engineering plastics sector. Development of eco-sustainable products.

Ecodesign of sustainable, recyclable and highly performing products.
