Basell Polyolefins Italy is a multinational company, which was set up in the year 2000 resulting from a joint venture between the Shell Group Companies and Basf a polypropylene manufacturing company.

“Basell has located its most important research centre in Ferrara in order to develop innovative products, also thanks to the support provided by the University.
The University of Ferrara offers a high quality post-graduate degree course fit for the needs of a group like ours, such as MaSTeM, a Master in Science, Technology and Management, which has given rise to research activities and spin offs”.
