Finchimica S.p.A. enters an industrial alliance with the historic manufacturer I.Pi.Ci. S.p.A. (now Finagro S.p.A.) which, thanks to a long string of successes beginning in 1947, boasts major registrations of chemical formulations, selling on the United States, Australian, and Chinese markets.

The chlorination and photochlorination plant is transferred to Tavazzano, in the province of Lodi, near the Solvay (now Inovyn) site – a decision made out of responsibility, to avoid transporting potentially hazardous substances, but that over time has given rise to an interesting market for the sale of co-products leaving the Manerbio plant.

A commercial alliance begins with DowAgroSciences (DAS); the synergy of Finchimica’s productive skills with DAS’s commercial and regulatory strength is to mark the success of dinitroanilines (DNAs) in North America.

 |
 |
 |
 |
The commercial agreement gets underway with Gowan Company LLC; the sales agent Novafito S.p.A. is merged into Finchimica Spa, reinforcing internal synergies in research and production, registration and distribution in the value creation chain on the plant protection products market.
