Novamont in Italy
Our network of production and research facilities in Italy
Thanks to our unique technologies, we have regenerated sites that were previously uncompetitive, transforming them into cutting-edge research centres and biorefineries for bioproducts.Our products are the result of integrating these technologies with our circular bioeconomy model.
Novara
Novara hosts our headquarters and research laboratories, covering a wide selection of skills and specializations, with equipment and facilities ranging from laboratory scale to innovative pilot plants.

Novamont Terni
Our facilities in Terni are dedicated to the production of Mater-Bi biopolymers, Origo-Bi biopolyesters, Matrol-Bi biolubricants, and new monomers. The site also hosts a technology hub for research and innovation activities. Established in 1990, the Terni plant was created through the regeneration of a historic building within the former Polymer site.

Piana di Monte Verna
The research center of Piana di Monte Verna is specialized in the development of industrial biotechnologies. Acquired in 2012 by Novamont, it is the result of the reconversion of a decommissioned research center of excellence.

Novamont Bottrighe
Located in Bottrighe di Adria (RO), this site is home to the world’s first industrial plant dedicated to the production of bio-based 1,4-butanediol (BDO) directly from sugars. The facility is based on an innovative technology developed by Genomatica—a California-based leader in bioengineering—and enhanced by Novamont’s know-how and industrial excellence.
The plant was established through the reconversion of a decommissioned lysine production site acquired by Novamont in 2012, as part of a broader strategy focused on territorial regeneration and the valorization of existing skills and expertise.
Novamont Patrica
Located in Patrica (FR), this plant specializes in the production of Mater-Bi biopolymers, Origo-Bi biopolyesters, and tetrahydrofuran (THF), which is generated during the polymerization process. The facility was established through the conversion of a former PET production plant.
Matrìca
Matrìca is the company set up in 2011 from a joint venture between Novamont and Versalis to reconvert a preexisting petrochemical site in Sardinia into a biorefinery integrated in the local area for the production biochemicals, building blocks for bioplastics, bases for lubricants, bioadditives for rubbers and plasticizers for polymers.Thanks to a process that does not use ozone, this facility produces azelaic acid and pelargonic acid from vegetable oils.
