About BIAZZI
BIAZZI SA is an engineering company specializing in niche technologies for the chemical industry and, according to its own statements, has been carrying out projects worldwide since 1936. The company develops, optimizes and plans plants and processes in three core technologies: hydrogenation (including its proprietary BIAZZI High Performance Reactor), nitration for nitroaromatics and nitroesters such as dinitrotoluene (DNT) and dinitrobenzene (DNB), and energetic materials with over 80 years of experience in the field of explosives. The service portfolio covers technology licenses, downstream processes (pre-mix, master-mix, dynamite production, manufacturing lines for detonating cord) as well as complete engineering services from the pre-project phase through basic and detailed engineering, procurement and construction to commissioning and life-cycle support. Customer industries include base chemicals, fine and specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, flavors and food, green chemistry (including furfuryl alcohol and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol from biomass-derived furfural), mining and construction, as well as aerospace.
