Versalis plans to take full ownership of Novamont

| By Mary Bailey

Versalis S.p.A. (San Donato Milanese), Eni’s chemical company and 36% shareholder of Novamont, and Mater-Bi, a subsidiary of Investitori Associati II and NB Renaissance, shareholder of Novamont’s remaining 64%, announce exclusive negotiations to finalize the acquisition by Versalis of Novamont’s entire share package.

Novamont is one of the leading international companies in the chemistry from renewables business, particularly in biodegradable and compostable bioplastics.

Versalis is the first Italian chemical company and an international leader in the sector, whose strategy is strongly aimed at portfolio specialization through chemistry from renewables.
