History
At the beginning of the 1960s, Montecatini and Shell had already joined forces in MonteShell Petrolchimica, owner of a plant in the chemical hub of Ferrara[1] and an industrial site in Brindisi.[2] Towards the end of the decade, Montedison purchased Shell's share and merged the petrochemical sector into Montesud.[3][4]
