What Radicifibras Industria E Comercio does

Radicifibras Industria E Comercio is a Brazilian industrial entity based in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, operating as part of the RadiciGroup (legal parent: Radici Novacips SpA, founded 1950, headquartered in Gandino, Italy). It participates in the group's two business areas: Specialty Chemicals, which produces chemical intermediates and polymers under the Radipol®, Radiplus®, Radimix®, and Radichem® brands, and High Performance Polymers, which supplies advanced polyamide (PA6 and PA66) and engineering polymer solutions under the Radilon®, Renycle® (recycled), Bionside® (bio-based), Radiflam® (flame-retardant), Radistrong® (high-strength), and Technyl® brands.

The company's product portfolio is built around polyamide chemistry and compounding, including recyclable (Renycle®) and bio-based (Bionside®) lines, with research and innovation coordinated through the Radici InNova consortium. It serves industrial customers across automotive, electrical/electronic, consumer goods, home appliances, industrial technical, transportation, water management, construction, and sports/leisure sectors, and supports customer discovery via the Autoinsight 3D visualization tool.

Commercial operations run on a B2B direct-sales model through dedicated sales networks for each business unit, with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing and a "glocal" approach combining centralized competence with local presence. The 2026 RadiciGroup-DOMO Engineered Materials strategic union, backed by Lone Star Funds acquisitions, integrates the Technyl® brand into the portfolio, positions the combined entity as a global independent Tier 1 compounder, and signals a transformational shift in ownership and scale.

Core offering

RadiciGroup manufactures and sells polyamide and high-performance engineering polymers for industrial customers worldwide. The portfolio is split between Specialty Chemicals (chemical intermediates and polymers under the Radipol, Radiplus, Radimix, and Radichem brands) and High Performance Polymers (advanced technopolymers including Radilon, Technyl, Renycle, Bionside, Radiflam, and Radistrong). Products are tailored for automotive, electrical/electronics, consumer goods, appliances, industrial, transportation, water management, construction, and sports/leisure applications.

Product overview

RadiciGroup is divided into two business areas: Specialty Chemicals, dedicated to producing chemical intermediates and polymers for industrial applications (Radipol®, Radiplus®, Radimix®, Radichem® brands), and High Performance Polymers, focused on advanced technopolymers for high-performance solutions (Renycle®, Bionside®, Radilon®, Radiflam®, Radistrong®, and Technyl® brands). The company offers polyamides and engineering polymers including recyclable and biological solutions. Technyl® was recently integrated following the transaction with DOMO Engineered Materials, combining globally recognized polyamide brands (Radilon® and Technyl®) to serve diverse sectors including automotive, electrical/electronics, consumer goods, appliances, industrial technical, transportation, water management, construction, and sports and leisure.
