CompanyBackground 1970
RadiciGroup, already operating in the polyamide yarn sector, diversified its business through vertical integration: it began producing nylon 6 polymer. 1986
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. 1991
At the Radici Chimica site, a new plant was built to produce hexamethylenediamine; this enabled the production of nylon 66 polymer.
CompanyBackground Radici Chem Trade BV was opened in Mendrisio, Switzerland. Radici Chimica Deutschland GmbH, a new plant for the production of adipic acid, was set up in Zeitz, Germany. RadiciChem Shanghai Co. Ltd, was opened in China.
1998 2001
2003 2004
The Novel combined-cycle cogeneration (turbogas) power plant was built-up in Radici Chimica Novara site. The plant has an output of 100 MW of electric power and can supply all the steam required for the Novara plant’s operations. Today‌
Over the years RadiciGroup has expanded its chemicals business and become a world leader in the production of polyamide 6 and 66, and related intermediates. Today RadiciGroup can reach consumers in chemicals markets all over the world: Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa, North and South America.
