They, an Italian chemical group operating in the production and supply of industrial gases, chose Porto Marghera, in Venice, as the headquarters for build a new factory dedicated to the production of Air Separation Systems (Asu) large. The planned investment amounts to approximately 50 million euro and the site will be completed by 2026. Siad Machinery Plants, the group company that leads the Engineering sector, will manage the new production unit, which will be destined for international markets.
Asu plants are essential for the production of industrial gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and argon and play a strategic role in decarbonisation technologies, with particular attention to hydrogen economy processes.
Economic impact, employment and territorial development
“This project – he declares Bernardo Sestini, president and CEO of Siad – demonstrates our trust in the Italian and European economic system”. In addition to the economic value generated along the entire supply chain, the new plant will create new employment opportunities for skilled workers and will promote the training of new talents.
The staff currently involved in the construction of Asu plants in the province of Bergamo will be involved in further industrial projects of the group, consolidating the Engineering area at a national and international level, with new offices and production units under development.
Technological innovation and international positioning
The construction of the new plant will allow Siad Macchine Impianti to strengthen your leadership in the engineering and manufacturing of large-scale air separation plants, expanding the product range and responding to the challenges related to the energy transition and decarbonisation.
The strategic position within the Port of Marghera, equipped with a dock and direct access to the sea, will facilitate logistics and international transport, allowing the systems to be loaded directly onto ships, with a significant increase in competitiveness on global markets.
Porto Marghera: a hub of innovation and sustainable development
“Continue thePositive wave for Porto Marghera, which attracts innovation, development and work: there are many reasons for satisfaction with the settlement in Porto Marghera of productive excellence of great importance such as SIAD", he declared Fulvio Lino DiBlasio, President of the Port System Authority of the Northern Adriatic Sea.
“First of all, thanks to this investment, Venice confirms itself as the leading port nationally in the maritime transport of Project Cargo, a sector that uses sea transport for 90% of its shipments. Secondly, Siad's investment will allow large-scale manufacturing to be carried out on site, thus reducing road transport and helping to reduce congestion and pollution”.
“Finally, the collaboration between the Port System Authority and the private sector has enhanced two specific features of Porto Marghera: the large inland areas and the proximity to the sea. These factors represent a winning combination, capable of attracting and continuing to attract investments linked to high added value manufacturing production”.
“Our organization demonstrates once again that having opened the doors to the world of production, committing to build a modern port, capable of supporting companies in seizing the opportunities offered by the establishment of the Simplified Logistics Zone. We managed, in record time, to issue the necessary authorizations to start the work and make the plant operational”, concluded Di Blasio.
