Polimeri Europa changes name to Versalis

The new name of Eni’s chemicals division is Versalis, created following the rebranding of Polimeri Europa. The name change represents a tangible sign of the new strategy for Eni’s chemicals division and a renewal of the historical

importance of the business within Eni. The name Versalis is the best example of this new strategy - Daniele Ferrari, CEO of Versalis explained at Plast 2012 in

Milan as it brings to mind the concept of universality, widespread presence, stability, safety and security. Versalis sets out to operate as one of the most advanced chemicals and plastic materials businesses, through an ongoing commitment to research and innovation in products, processes and technology. The company’s new plan highlights the development of the elastomers business, a sector in which Versalis is the leader in Europe, for which over €500million of investment is envisaged. The new butadiene line at Dunkerque is fundamental to the supply of raw materials to the elastomer production sites, particularly in the UK.
