ABOUT US
Start

Xplore is a privately held limited liability company established in January 2013 (with the original name of HTExplore), founded by Prof. Vincenzo Busico (picture aside) and Prof. Roberta Cipullo. It originated with the status of Academic Spin-off of the Federico II University of Naples, based on the clever intuition to offer to catalyst and polymer producers commercial services linked to the utilization of High Throughput Screening (HTS) technologies for catalyst screening, process optimization and product development.

Timeline

2013

The company is founded (with the original name of HTExplore), by Prof. Vincenzo Busico and Prof. Roberta Cipullo as Academic Spin-off of the Federico II University of Naples.

2014

Acquisition of a comprehensive workflow (polymerization platform, analytical tools and satellite equipment) to offer High Throughput Screening (HTS) services for catalyst screening, process optimization and product development.

2014

Between 2014 and 2020, Xplore worked with leading petrochemical companies, as well as medium-sized businesses and research organizations. Over this period, Xplore successfully delivered numerous projects, gaining extensive experience and establishing a strong reputation in the market for its expertise in polymerizations and polymer analysis.

2020

In December 2020, Xplore was taken over at 100% by SCG Chemicals, as part of the SCG Chemicals acquisition process of R&D excellence providers in the PO industry. The adoption of an armlength operational model from the shareholders, in turn, allows Xplore to maintain its independency as preferred provider of High Throughput Screening service for polyolefin and catalyst producers.

2021

Since 2021, Xplore has a structural synergy with Norner AS, through which the two companies create a unique combined service portfolio for the entire PO-value chain. In particular, the unification of the two workflows creates a streamlined and highly integrated workflow which enables efficient, reliable and market relevant catalystand polymer development services.

2024

Relocation from the Department of Chemical Sciences of the Federico II University of Naples to a fully private location in Aversa.

Where

Since 2024, Xplore has its main operation site in Aversa (near Naples) where it occupies 200 sqm of offices, plus 200 sqm of modern and fully equipped lab-spaces.
Next to that, the company also owns shared facilities at the Department of Chemical Sciences of University of Naples (U-Naples) Federico II, which reflects the fact that Xplore has a structural synergy with the LSP group (Laboratory of Stereoselective Polymerization) from which it originally stemmed as academic spin-off. Thanks to this strategic dual location, Xplore can benefit from a fully private operational site (Aversa) while still accessing to top level academic competences and experimental resources at U-Naples.
