The industrial area of Porto Marghera, one of Europe’s largest, was established between 1917 and 1921 with the remediation of lagoon soils and the development of a commercial port, railways, navigable artificial canals and roads. At the end of 1928 there were over 50 plants, most of which operating within the steel, chemical, engineering, shipbuilding, oil and electricity sectors. Eni's presence in Porto Marghera has crossed several historical eras with the operations of Agip, Agip Petroli and Enichem and their joint ventures, including the one between ICI and Enichem, which led to the establishment of EVC (later Ineos Vinyls Italia and Vinyls Italia), and the one between Montedison and Enichem which, in 1989, led to the founding of Enimont. In 1991, after Enimont went bankrupt, Enichem became the owner of Montedison’s production assets and, in 2008, under the name of Syndial (today Eni Rewind), terminated all its activities when the Vinyls Italia plants were shut down. Today, Eni Rewind owns a total of approximately 210 hectares, 170 of which lie in the New Petrochemical and 40 in the Old Petrochemical areas. Eni’s environmental company is also in charge of remediation interventions in the areas passed on to Versalis. Since 2000, Porto Marghera has been a Site of National Priority, according to Italian Law 426/1998, for its high environmental risk and the need for remediation and safety measures.
