Venice, Italy – SIAD, the Italian industrial gas leader, has chosen Port Marghera as the site for a major new production facility, with an investment of €50 million. The plant, set for completion in 2026, will specialize in large-scale Air Separation Units (ASUs), critical for decarbonization and the hydrogen economy.
Strategic Investment for a Sustainable Future
Operated by SIAD Macchine Impianti, the engineering arm of the Sestini Group, the facility will strengthen SIAD’s role in global markets. The strategic coastal location—with direct sea access—will streamline logistics, enabling efficient shipment of ASUs worldwide.
“This project reflects our confidence in Italy and Europe’s industrial potential,” said Bernardo Sestini, SIAD’s CEO. “The €50 million investment will generate high added value across the supply chain and position SIAD as a leader in decarbonization technologies.”
Economic and Environmental Impact
The plant is expected to:
-
Create skilled jobs and training opportunities.
-
Relocate and expand existing ASU production from Bergamo, reinforcing Italy’s engineering sector.
-
Reduce road transport emissions by leveraging Porto Marghera’s maritime logistics.
ASUs produce industrial gases like oxygen, nitrogen, and argon, essential for clean energy transitions, including hydrogen production.
Porto Marghera: A Hub for Innovation
“SIAD’s choice underscores Porto Marghera’s revival as a center for sustainable industry,” said Fulvio Lino Di Blasio, President of the Northern Adriatic Sea Port Authority. “Its inland space and sea access make it ideal for high-value manufacturing, aligning with our Simplified Logistics Zone incentives.”
The port’s Project Cargo leadership—handling 90% of oversized shipments by sea—further enhances competitiveness. Authorities fast-tracked approvals, ensuring swift project launch.
This investment marks another step in Venice’s industrial renewal, combining economic growth with environmental benefits.
