The story of RadiciGroup in the plastics sector began back in 1981. For RadiciGroup, founded in 1946, the 1980s were a period of vertical integration, new development projects, new strategies and striving to optimize available resources.

Diversification of production was the strategy that propelled RadiciGroup into the innovative engineering plastics sector, a new field back then, but one whose future expansion could already be foreseen. In 1981, Radici Novacips SpA - the first company in what would become the Plastics Business Unit - was set up in Villa d’Ogna in the province of Bergamo, Italy.

1986 - Radici Plastics France SA sales office opened.
