RADICIGROUP HISTORY
Trade of household textiles.
The company Tessiture Pietro Radici was 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 – hexamethylenediamine) and polymerization
of PA66. Beginning of industrial activities linked to the production of engineering plastics and
synthetic grass yarns. Development of the engineering business (turnkey plants).
