History
In the 1980s Radici Chimica S.p.A. came into being following the purchase of an ex-Montedison production site in Novara.
In 2011 RadiciGroup acquired the German dorix GmbH[1] (formerly Selbitzer Chemiefaser GmbH, founded in 1896 under the name of Heinrich Reinhold GmbH & Co. KG), based in Selbitz – Hochfranken, Bavaria. dorix GmbH is the European leader in the production of PA6 staple (dorix®) and PP staple products (reilen).
Production chain
RadiciGroup manages diversified businesses worldwide focused on chemicals, plastics and synthetic fibres with total control over its production chain, from products such as adipic acid, polyamide 6 and polyamide 6.6 to yarns and engineering plastics. This control constitutes one of RadiciGroup's key strengths.
