Silicon Metal
Silicon metal is a key input in the production of thousands of industrial and consumer products manufactured by the chemicals and aluminum industries. Global sales of silicon metal in 2008 were US$6.4 billion and are anticipated to grow, driven by global mega-trends and the continuing development of new applications.
Over the course of more than 30 years, we have honed the art and science of silicon metal production to provide our customers with cost competitive, high quality silicon metal that meets their specific requirements. Our experience and expertise has enabled us to become one of the largest producers of silicon metal in North America.
