Company profile
From process licence to world-scale industrial plant
MAIRE sits at two points in an industrial project's value chain. TECNIMONT engineers, procures and helps construct large chemical, fertilizer and energy plants; NEXTCHEM owns and licenses technologies that determine what those plants make and how efficiently they operate. Stamicarbon adds decades of fertilizer-process expertise. The result is a platform spanning early studies, proprietary process design, critical equipment, construction, commissioning, digital services and support through the operating life of a plant.
Engineering at scale
From a Norwegian fjord to Kazakhstan and Abu Dhabi
TECNIMONT's work becomes concrete in very different settings. It has designed integration for a Norwegian green-ammonia proposal, leads work on Kazakhstan's linked Tengiz gas-separation and Silleno polyethylene complexes, and is executing the onshore gas-treatment and sulphur-recovery scope of the Hail and Ghasha development in Abu Dhabi.

Proprietary processes
A catalogue built around molecules and recovered carbon
NEXTCHEM's named solutions cover ammonia, hydrogen and syngas, methanol and circular feedstocks; its methanol routes include options using captured CO2. The pages explain process routes rather than only market labels. Two official English films add the strategic view: why the portfolio is assembled this way and how the company expects technologies to move from development into industrial use.
- Explore ammonia technologies Routes for conventional, low-carbon and renewable ammonia
- Explore hydrogen and syngas Process technologies for lower-carbon production
- Explore methanol Technology routes and the role of captured carbon
- Explore circularity Recovering value from plastics, biomass and non-recyclable material

Fertilizer know-how
Stamicarbon stays with a urea plant across its life
Stamicarbon's Launch, Advance and Evolve model runs from licensing and plant design through optimisation and revamps. Its specialist portfolio includes UAN, sulphur-enriched UAS and diesel-exhaust-fluid processes, while the knowledge centre gives operators access to technical articles, podcasts and webinars on ammonia, urea, safety and digitalisation.

Technology made tangible
Methanol, recycled plastic and a planned innovation district
The Pacifico Mexinol project applies NEXTCHEM processes and critical equipment to a planned ultra-low-carbon methanol facility in Mexico. In Milan, NX Replast turned post-consumer plastic into a 100% recycled transport seat. MAIRE is developing a Green Innovation District at its historic Rome headquarters, planned to combine research and analysis laboratories with pilot-plant space for testing technologies before industrial scale.
