Italian radiopharmaceutical firm Bracco last month signed an agreement with Caffaro, the lead company of Italian firm Snia Groups Chemical and Energy sector. The agreement allows Bracco to build a new plant on the site of Industrie Chimiche Caffaro in Torviscosa. The plant will manufacture Braccos imaging contrast media products, and Bracco will use the raw materials, utilities, facilities, and services already available at the site. The plant will eventually employ approximately 100 people.
