'''Fluorsid [[S.p.A.]]''' is an Italian company active in the [[Chemical Industry|chemical]] and [[mining industry]], and precisely involved in the production and sales of inorganic [[Fluorine|fluorine derivatives]].

The historic production site is located in Macchiareddu, in the industrial area of [[Cagliari]], in [[Sardinia]], but the company has plants and headquarters also located in the [[Italian peninsula]], [[Norway]], [[Switzerland]] and [[United Kingdom]].

== History ==
Historically, since the [[Neolithic]] era, the populations that have inhabited Sardinia have always exploited the mineral wealths and varieties present in its subsoil. These mining activities grew considerably between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: in 1850 there were more than 250 mining concessions. This period was dominated by the extraction of [[lead]] and [[zinc]] which made the fortune of [[Arbus, Sardinia|Arburese]], [[Iglesias, Sardinia|Iglesiente]] and the Barony of [[Siniscola]] regions. The sector, however, went into crisis after the Second World War and many of these mines were closed or downsized. On the contrary, however, in the same period there has been a boom in the [[fluorine]] and [[barium]] extraction sector, especially in [[Gerrei]] area. Therefore, many entrepreneurs, supported by the [[Regional Council of Sardinia|Autonomous Region of Sardinia]] through the ''Sardinian Mining Authority'' (it. ''Ente Minerario Sardo''), chose to invest in this new business. Among these figures there was also Count Enrico Giulini, who already obtained the first mining concessions in 1953<ref name=tresMontis>{{cite web|url=http://ricerca.gelocal.it/lanuovasardegna/archivio/lanuovasardegna/2008/11/12/SD3SD_SD304.html|title=Il ritorno del conte Giulini: sarà la Fluorite sarda a rilanciare Genna Tres Montis|author=Giancarlo Bulla|date=12 November 2008|access-date=28 July 2021|website=La Nuova Sardegna}}</ref> and a few years later, on April 17, [[1969]], he founded ''Fluorsid'' based in the ''Genna Tres Montis'' mine, in the municipality of [[Silius]]. The company was specialized in the production of synthetic [[cryolite]] and [[aluminum fluoride]]<ref>{{cite news|author=Ignazio De Magistris|url=http://www.archiviolastampa.it/component/option,com_lastampa/task,search/mod,libera/action,viewer/Itemid,3/page,7/articleid,0137_01_1971_0107_0025_4580743/|title=Nelle miniere del Sulcis|publisher=[[La Stampa]]|date=12 May 1971|access-date=2 July 2021}}</ref>. It immediately built on site a drying and bagging plant for [[fluorspar]] as well as one for briquetting the [[fluorite]] for steel and wet process, implemented in 1972<ref name = fluorsidchisiamo>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/|title=Fluorsid - Who we are|access-date=8 July 2021}}</ref>. This process will be used until 1988, when it was decided to switch to dry production.

At the end of the 1980s, however, the problem of the enlargement of the [[ozone hole]] emerged: [[chlorofluorocarbon]]s were considered the main culprits and some of these compounds were banned by the 1987 [[Montreal Protocol]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ilpost.it/2015/05/16/buco-nell-ozono/|title=Il buco nell'ozono, 30 anni fa|editor=ilpost.it|date=16 May 2015|access-date=28 July 2021}}</ref>. This led to a strong crisis in the chemical industry linked to the production of florides (in particular [[hydrofluoric acid]]), for which the Silìus mine also entered into crisis<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.comune.silius.ca.it/conoscere-silius/miniere|title=Le miniere - Comune di Silius|editor=|date=|access-date=17 May 2015}}</ref>. The Autonomous Region of Sardinia therefore decided to separate the mining sector from the production and commercial side, taking charge of the first aspect and contributing to 80% of the capital of the mines in Gerrei. Since 1990, Fluorsid left [[Silius]]<ref name=tresMontis> and its business focused in the production and marketing of fluoroderivatives purchasing the raw material from other mines in the world, such as in [[South Africa]], [[Morocco]] and [[China]]<ref>{{cite web |author=Fluorsid|date=March 2007|title=Domanda di autorizzazione integrata ambientale|url=https://va.minambiente.it/File/Documento/266156|access-date=28 July 2021}}</ref>. In 2006, 100% of the raw materials were imported<ref name="assoInd">{{cite web|author=Fluorsid|title=Il recupero energetico dalla produzione di acido solforico nello stabilimento Fluorsid di Macchiareddu|url=http://www.assindca.it/docs/convegno_135_86701.pdf|date=5 October 2012|access-date=28 July 2021}}</ref>.

However, Sardinia had not been abandoned, on the contrary the industrial site of Macchiareddu was expanded, in the industrial area of [[Assemini]], near [[Cagliari]]: in 2002 the [[sulfuric acid]] plant was started up with the production of steam by electricity and at the same time in the new Millennium the company began to grow at worldwide level and acquire other companies in the sector, also thanks to the arrival in 2005 of Tommaso Giulini, son of the founder, Count Enrico, who inherited the head of the company in 2005. With the closure of the Sardinian mines, in fact, the goal was to take advantage of the energy produced on site and, at the same time, increase production capacity, focus on innovative technologies and diversify production by focusing on the [[aluminum]] sector in order to seek new outlets in the Arab and Persian Gulf markets<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lanuovasardegna.it/sport/2016/01/22/news/lezione-del-patron-giulini-ai-giovani-di-confindustria-1.12823471|title=Lezione del patron Giulini ai giovani di Confindustria|editor=[[La Nuova Sardegna]]|date=22 January 2016|access-date=28 July 2021}}</ref>.

In fact, in 2010 ''ICIB'' was acquired, at the time the Italian leader in the market of [[hydrofluoric acid]] in solution and synthetic [[anhydride]]. Two years later ''British Fluorspar'' began mining fluorite in [[Derbyshire]]. In 2013 the Swiss office in [[Lausanne]] began trading metals, chemicals and minerals and three years later Fluorsid acquired the Norwegian company ''Noralf'' with an investment of 12.5 million euros, buying the second largest European plant for production of [[aluminum fluoride]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ansa.it/sardegna/notizie/2016/10/06/fluorsid-acquisisce-noralfcosto-125mln_92d33c40-4800-480b-98ff-e162e43f7aa6.html|title=Fluorsid acquisisce Noralf,costo 12,5mln|editor=[[ANSA]]|date=6 October 2016|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>. In 2017 it acquired the ''SFM'' plant in [[Martigny]], Switzerland, dedicated to the production of [[magnesium]], and the English company ''Active Metals'', leader in the production of [[titanium]] powders and granules in [[Sheffield]] plant<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/la-fluorsid-patron-cagliari-calcio-fa-shopping-inghilterra-AEdCm15D|title=La Fluorsid del patron del Cagliari calcio fa shopping in Inghilterra|editor=[[Il Sole 24 Ore]]|date=25 February 2018|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>. The following year, on the other hand, it acquired 50% of ''Simplis Logistics'', the logistics platform in [[Bahrain]] for trade in Asian markets.

In Italy, in 2018, the chemical company ''Alkeemia'' was acquired together with its former [[Solvay S.A.|Solvay]] plant in [[Porto Marghera]] for the production of anhydrous [[hydrofluoric acid]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.polimerica.it/articolo.asp?id=19570|title=Solvay cede l’impianto di Porto Marghera|editor=|date=15 March 2018|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>, and in 2021 was created ''Fluorsid Deutschland'', a German section born with the acquisition of 50% of ''CF Carbons'', manufacturer of [[Chlorodifluoromethane]], called also R22, in [[Frankfurt]]<ref name=frankfurt/>. However in October of the same year, Fluorsid sold both the subsidiary Alkeemia, including the related assets, namely the Porto Marghera plant, and the investment in Germany to a fund managed by the English investment company ''Blantyre Capital Limited''<ref name=soldAlkeemia>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/it/fluorsid-annuncia-accordo-per-la-cessione-della-controllata-alkeemia-spa-ad-un-fondo-gestito-da-blantyre-capital/|title=Fluorsid annuncia accordo per la cessione della controllata Alkeemia Spa ad un fondo gestito da Blantyre Capital|editor=|date=29 October 2021|access-date=29 October 2021}}</ref>.

Since 2019 all the subsidiaries of the Fluorsid Group have been unified and controlled under the Fluorsid brand<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lanuovasardegna.it/regione/2019/08/17/news/il-gruppo-fluorsid-cresce-ora-e-leader-in-occidente-1.17868267|title=Il gruppo Fluorsid cresce ora è leader in Occidente|editor=[[La Nuova Sardegna]]|date=17 August 2019|access-date=10 September 2021}}</ref>.

== Products ==
The company develops the entire fluorine chain, from the extraction of fluorite to hydrofluoric acid, with the production and marketing of its derivatives as well as the sale of non-ferrous metals dedicated to the aluminum, fluoropolymer and steel markets, but also to the production of [[gypsum]] and [[anhydrite]] for the construction sector. The production of [[sulfuric acid]] serves the producers of fertilizers, synthetic detergents and pharmaceutical companies<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/what-we-do/|title=Fluorsid - What we do|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>.

Among the chemical products there are high density [[aluminum fluoride]] made with dry process, anhydrous [[hydrofluoric acid]] in aqueous version (from 2018 to 2021 even in anidrous form in [[Porto Marghera]] plant, then sold<ref name=soldAlkeemia/>), [[sulfuric acid]] from molten [[sulfur]] with the ''Double Contact Double Absorption'' process, synthetic [[cryolite]], [[fluorite]] (a raw material for many subsequent processes), [[calcium fluoride]] and R22, raw material for the production of many fluoropolymers. Fluorsid produces also [[calcium sulphate]] in various forms (raw, milled or granular) and it is sold under the trade name ''Gypsos''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/what-we-do/chemical/|title=Fluorsid - Chemical|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>.

As for metals, the company is the leading European producer of powders, granules and shavings of [[magnesium]] and exports worldwide over 90% of its annual production as well as powders and granules of [[titanium]]. Through partner companies then exchanges and produces base metals ([[copper]], [[zinc]], [[lead]], [[nickel]], [[tin]] and [[aluminum]]), ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, semi-finished metals, [[steel]] and other metals for refining, and produces of catalysts and for high-precision applications<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/what-we-do/metals/|title=Fluorsid - Metals|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>.

== Headquarters and production plants ==
[[File:Stabilimento Fluorsid.jpg|270px|thumb|right|The production plant in Macchiareddu, in [[Sardinia]]]]
[[File:Fluorsid Treviglio.jpg|270px|thumb|right|Entrance of the factory in [[Treviglio]], near [[Bergamo]]]]
The administrative headquarters and the offices of the company are located in in via Vegezio [[Milan]], in the [[CityLife (Milan)|Citylife district]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/where/milan-italy/|title=Where we are - Milan, Italy|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>, while the production plants are scattered in several countries in Europe.

The company's first plant, that is as well the registered office, is located in Macchiareddu (in the territory of [[Assemini]]), an industrial area on the outskirts of [[Cagliari]], in [[Sardinia]]. It has been built when fluorite was still extracted in Gerrei. Here aluminum fluoride, sulfuric acid, synthetic cryolite, calcium fluoride and calcium sulfate are produced under the ''Gypsos'' brand. [[Aluminum fluoride]] is produced in five parallel production lines. The last two built, in 2008 and 2013, are equipped with highly efficient double-bed reactors. [[Sulfuric acid]] is produced in two parallel plants, the first built in 2002 and the second, of the same capacity, in 2013<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/where/cagliari-italy/products/|title=Where we are, Cagliari - Products|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>. The raw material for both plants is molten sulfur from nearby [[Saras S.p.A.|Saras]] in [[Sarroch]]'s refinery, which guarantees the absence of dangerous dust. The process is highly exothermic and, thanks to a very efficient heat recovery, huge quantities of steam are generated and sent to two turbine generators of 5 and 7 MW capacity. These ones, starting from a zero-km by-product, allow the plant to be self-sufficient in terms of sulfuric acid, steam and electricity without the use of fuels, carbon dioxide emissions or other [[Greenhouse gas|greenhouse gases]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/where/cagliari-italy/technology/|title=Where we are, Cagliari - Technology|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>.

In 2010 the group acquired ''ICIB'', which had been the main producer of hydrofluoric acid since 1949, and settled in its [[Treviglio]] plant, in [[Bergamo]] area<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/where/treviglio-italy/|title=Where we are -Treviglio, Italy|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>. Merging this plant and the one in Porto Marghera,  is produced a quantity of hydrofluoric acid equal to 10,000 tons per year<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/where/treviglio-italy/products/|title=Where we are, Treviglio - Products|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>.

With the acquisition of ''Noralf'' in 2013, it is also present in [[Norway]] in the [[Odda]] plant, capable of producing around 40,000 tons per year of [[aluminum fluoride]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/where/odda-norway/|title=Where we are - Odda, Norway|access-date=21 September 2021}}</ref>.

About the mining sector, in [[Great Britain]] it has been present since 2012 at [[Stoney Middleton|Cavendish Mill]] in [[Derbyshire]] within the Peak District National Park, where fluorite is extracted and subsequently transported to the various plants<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/where/derbyshire-uk/|title=Where we are - Derbyshire, Regno Unito|access-date=21 September 2021}}</ref>. In the same country there is also a plant, dated 1984, in [[Sheffield]] ([[South Yorkshire]]) where [[titanium]] powders and granules are produced<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/where/sheffield-united-kingdom/|title=Where we are - Sheffield, Regno Unito|access-date=21 September 2021}}</ref>.

In [[Switzerland]], the entire [[magnesium]] sector is located in [[Martigny]] ([[Valais|Canton of Valais]]). The site specializes in the production of magnesium anodes for the cathodic protection of water heaters, tanks and pipelines<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/where/martigny-switzerland/|title=Where we are - Martigny, Switzerland|access-date=21 September 2021}}</ref>. Also in Switzerland, in [[Zurich]] and [[Lausanne]], there are offices dedicated to the group's trading activities<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/where/martigny-switzerland/|title=Where we are - Lausanne, Switzerland|access-date=21 September 2021}}</ref>.

Finally, with the subsidiary ''Simplis Logistics'', the company operates in [[Manama]], [[Bahrain]], in the logistics sector and in the transport of production materials<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/where/manama-bahrain/|title=Where we are - Manama, Bahrain|access-date=21 September 2021}}</ref>.

In 2018 Fluorsid acquired from [[Solvay S.A.|Solvay]] its plant in [[Porto Marghera]], in the industrial area of [[Venice]]. Indeed here there was one of the biggest productions of hydrofluoric acid, in both anhydrous and aqueous form, and of fluoroderivatives (calcium sulphate)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/where/porto-marghera-italy/|title=Where we are - Porto Marghera, Italy|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>. The company therefore settled here its company branch called Fluorsid Alkeemia. The plant had an area of 125,000 square meters and every year 27,000 tons of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid and 100,000 tons of calcium sulphate were produced. In February 2021 it was selected by the [[Ministry of Economic Development (Italy)|Italian Ministry of Economic Development]] for a European Union [[Projects of Common Interest|Project of Common Interest]] for the development of innovative lithium battery cells and systems<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nordesteconomia.gelocal.it/imprese/2021/02/05/news/il-mise-investe-su-fluorsid-per-produrre-batterie-al-litio-1.39864872|title=Il Mise investe su Fluorsid per produrre batterie al litio|date=5 February 2021|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>. In October 2021 Fluorsid sold the controlled company Alkeemia and its plant<ref name=soldAlkeemia/>.

In 2021, with the establishment of ''Fluorsid Deutschland'', the company arrived in [[Germany]] at the [[Höchst (Frankfurt am Main)|Höchst]] plant, near [[Frankfurt Airport]]. The plant mainly produced [[chlorodifluoromethane]], a raw material for many fluorine polymers such as [[PTFE]] and some special fluoroelastomers. The production capacity of the plant was about 24,000 MT per year and is managed through the partner ''Nouryon'', the original owner of the site<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/who-we-are/where/frankfurt-germany/|title=Where we are - Frankfurt, Germany|access-date=21 September 2021}}</ref>. In October of the same year, together with the sale of the subsidiary Alkeemia, there has been the sale of the 50% stake in CF Carbons which ended the activities on in Germany<ref name=soldAlkeemia/>.

== Legal controversies ==
In May 2017 Fluorsid was implicated in an investigation for environmental disaster which also involved its top management with accusations of [[Conspiracy (criminal)|conspiracy]] and environmental crimes<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://lanuovasardegna.gelocal.it/cagliari/cronaca/2017/05/16/news/sette-arresti-per-disastro-ambientale-nella-fluorsid-del-presidente-del-cagliari-calcio-1.15345567|title = Sette arresti per disastro ambientale nella Fluorsid del presidente del Cagliari calcio |publisher = [[La Nuova Sardegna]]|date = 17 May 2017}}</ref>. At the end of the events, the company and the reference company were declared extraneous to the conduct, because the technical choices were not being made by the top management of Fluorsid. The agents of the [[State Forestry Corps#Regional Corps|Regional Forestry Corps]] seized two areas containing polluting materials: one of three hectares, next to the Fluorsid plant in Macchiareddu, in Sardinia, where there were piles of materials stored outdoors and one of five hectares in Terrasili, in the municipality of Assemini, for the storage of various materials. The warrant contested the presence of contamination by dispersion of harmful dust containing [[fluorine]], the contamination of the soil by diffusion of fluorine dust, then ending up on grazing lands, and the contamination of groundwater and livestock by heavy metals and inorganic compounds, and contamination of livestock by fluorine in Macchiareddu<ref>{{Cite web|url =https://www.sardiniapost.it/cronaca/arrestati-i-vertici-della-fluorsid-di-macchiareddu-per-disastro-ambientale/|title =Arrestati i vertici della Fluorsid di Macchiareddu per disastro ambientale|publisher = Sardinia Post|date =16 May 2017}}</ref>. The investigation closed in December 2018 bringing the number of suspects to 15<ref>{{Cite web|url =http://www.lanuovasardegna.it/cagliari/cronaca/2018/12/28/news/fluorsid-inchiesta-chiusa-stralcio-della-posizione-di-giulini-1.17600570|title =Fluorsid, inchiesta chiusa: stralcio della posizione di Giulini|publisher = [[La Nuova Sardegna]]|date =28 December 2018}}</ref>, which then rose to 22 including managers of public control bodies.

On June 26, 2019, the company presented an investment plan of approximately 22 million euros to modernize the area around the Macchiareddu plant and further improve compliance with environmental safety<ref>{{Cite web|url =https://www.sardiniapost.it/cronaca/inchiesta-fluorsid-piano-della-societa-investimenti-per-bonificare-larea/|title =Inchiesta Fluorsid, piano della società: investimenti sulla sicurezza ambientale|publisher = Sardinia Post|date =26 June 2019}}</ref>. On 25 July of the same year 11 of the 22 suspects negotiated a sentence of 23 months' detention (but with suspended sentence) and a 7,000 euro fine for pollution, environmental disaster and illegal waste disposal, while the accusation of conspiracy was canceled<ref>{{Cite web|url =https://www.sardiniapost.it/cronaca/fluorsid-gli-11-indagati-sono-salvi-niente-processo-patteggiano-tutti/|title =Fluorsid, gli 11 indagati sono ‘salvi’: niente processo, patteggiano tutti|publisher = Sardinia Post|date =25 July 2019}}</ref>. On 18 December 2019 the case was definitively closed with the dismissal of the positions of the remaining 11 suspects, which involved the managers of Fluorsid (including the president of [[Cagliari Calcio]] and of the company itself Tommaso Giulini) and its subsidiaries and managers of the Sardinian Healthcare Board (ATS) and of the Sardinian Environmental Defense Board (ARPAS)<ref>{{Cite web|url =https://www.sardiniapost.it/cronaca/fluorsid-inquinamento-senza-colpevoli-undici-archiviazioni-anche-per-giulini/|title =Fluorsid, inquinamento senza colpevoli: undici archiviazioni, anche per Giulini|publisher = Sardinia Post|date =18 December 2019}}</ref>. The plea deal, as well as the final setting of the accusation, confirmed the extraneousness of Fluorsid and its top management with respect to the conduct<ref>{{Cite web|url =https://www.lanuovasardegna.it/regione/2019/07/26/news/fluorsid-patteggiano-tutti-e-partono-le-bonifiche-1.17857988|title =Fluorsid, patteggiano tutti e partono le bonifiche|publisher = Sardinia Post|date =26 July 2019|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>.

== Governance ==
Fluorsid consists of eight subsidiaries that report directly to the original company established in 1969. In fact, they maintain organizational charts and legal entities, but are unified from a commercial and brand point of view, with their name preceded by that of the Group, precisely Fluorsid. Management is led by the Fluorsid [[Board of directors]] to which the BoDs of the subsidiaries also refer. With regard to organizational reports, the plant managers of the subsidiaries report directly to the Fluorsid's [[Chief Executive Officer]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lanuovasardegna.it/regione/2019/08/17/news/il-gruppo-fluorsid-cresce-ora-e-leader-in-occidente-1.17868267|title=Il gruppo Fluorsid cresce ora è leader in Occidente|editor=[[La Nuova Sardegna]]|date=17 August 2019|access-date=10 September 2021}}</ref>. The entire Fluorsid is part of the holding called ''Fluorsid Group'', that has the full ownership of the professional [[football]] club [[Cagliari Calcio]], the main sports club in [[Sardinia]], and the minority shareholdings in three other companies of the chemical and metal field: SEMP, Simplis Logistics and Laminazione Sottile<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fluorsid.com/sustainability/sustainability-report/|title=Fluorsid - Sustainability Report 2019 (in Italian)|access-date=10 September 2021}}</ref>.
