Scaling industrial technologies: Fabio Fritelli’s vision for NEXTCHEM’s growth
Scaling industrial technologies is no longer just an ambition, it is a necessity for companies seeking to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving global market. Fabio Fritelli, Managing Director of NEXTCHEM, made this clear with a direct and strategic message: growth lies in expanding technological capabilities and delivering solutions that are both innovative and economically viable.
A key milestone in this direction is NEXTCHEM’s acquisition of Ballestra Group. This strategic move significantly broadens the company’s technological platform, extending its expertise into inorganic chemistry, the chemistry of metals and minerals. By doing so, NEXTCHEM not only diversifies its offering but also strengthens its research and development capabilities while expanding its client base across new industrial segments. The acquisition marks an important step in building a more comprehensive portfolio of technologies. According to Fabio Fritelli, NEXTCHEM had already developed over 50 market-ready technologies.
With the integration of Ballestra Group, this number is expected to exceed 80, positioning the company as a leader in delivering advanced, scalable solutions across industrial value chains. “The combination of an unparalleled set of technologies and top-tier talents allows us to deliver tailor solutions from feedstock to final products – he said – Most importantly we deliver economically viable and bankable solutions. In this way we create value across evolving market conditions”.
