Investments in research
A large program of investments in production plants and R&D infrastructure is underway at the API facility in Mussolente (Vicenza, Italy). Specifically worthy of note is the start-up of a fifth line for thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), increasing output capacity by 25%, and of two new lines for thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and Apinat bioplastics production, with a 15% increase in output. Additionally, construction is nearing completion on new R&D laboratories and offices, increasing the space dedicated to this activity by approximately 80%.
