Vertical Integration Production Flexibility

Immediate response to market needs

RadiciGroup bought and revamped a former Montedison production site in Novara, Italy, which became Radici Chimica SpA. Nitric and adipic acid production was re-started up.

RadiciGroup, already operating in the polyamide yarn sector, diversified its business through vertical integration: it began producing nylon 6 polymer.

1986

At the Radici Chimica site, a new plant was built to produce hexamethylenediamine; this enabled the production of nylon 66 polymer.
