The industrial synergy relaunches the Fontana Liri Military Propellants Plant in the production of firing powders for cartridges for military and civil use
The Director General of the Agenzia Industrie Difesa, Nicola Latorre, and the Legal Representative of Baschieri & Pellagri, Alessandro Fioravanti, today signed the agreement for the concession and management, through public-private partnership, of the spherical powder production plants of the Fontana Liri Military Propellants Plant in the province of Frosinone.
The cooperation between the Agenzia Industrie Difesa, an in-house body of the Ministry of Defence, and Baschieri & Pellagri, a Fiocchi Group company specialising in the design, production and distribution of powders, constitutes an important result for the industrial consolidation of Defence activities and recognises the strategic importance of the production units located throughout the country.
The restart of gunpowder production at the Fontana Liri plants, interrupted in 2017, represents an important result for the Agency, which aims to strengthen and expand industrial synergies with national companies in order to enhance Defense assets. In addition, particular attention is paid to adapting to the latest standards of technological efficiency and security that will allow to reduce at the same time the dependence on foreign strategic supplies. With the restart of gunpowder production and the reactivation of the hydroelectric plant in 2022, the significant milestone in the context of the industrial relaunch project of the Propellants Military Plant, which was contained in the 2021-2023 Three-Year Industrial Plan of the Defense Industries Agency, concludes.
