Elkem's Bussiness
1 Elkem Silicon
Elkem is one of the world’s largest producers of silicon. It delivers special products to customers in the chemicals, electronics and aluminium industries worldwide. Silicon from Elkem is alloyed with aluminium to produce cast aluminium parts, or can be processed by the chemicals sector to a number of products from sea lants, cosmetics and electrical insulation materials to lubricating oils and other synthetics used in car manufacturing.
2 Foundry and ferrosilicon products
Elkem is the world’s largest supplier of ferrosilicon-based special alloys. Its customers for ferrosilicon include iron foundries and steel mills worldwide.The car industry, line pipe manufacturers and other mechanical engineering companies are also important customer categories, and applications for the company’s products include complex foundry goods such as engine blocks and manifolds. Ferrosilicon from Elkem is used by the steel industry to produce carbon and stainless grades.
3 Elkem Aluminium
Elkem Aluminium has been sold to Alcoa. Alcoa's presence in Norway began in 1962 through a partnership with Elkem ASA to operate smelters in Lisa and Mosjoen. Today those two facilities are 100% Alcoa owned and operated on clean hydropower, with a combined output of 282,000 metric tons per year (mtpy). Alcoa also operates a newly opened anode plant in Mosjoen which supplies the Mosjoen smelter as well as alcoa Fjardaal in Iceland.
4 Elkem Materials
Elkem Microsilica is one of the principal products supplied by Elkem Materials. It finds a wide range of applications in high-strength concrete, other building materials such as roof tiles and facade cladding, and fire proof products for heavy industry. Microsilica is also used for sealing tunnels and drilling oil wells.
This product comprises micro scopic particles collected by filters downstream from the smelting process in silicon and ferrosilicon plants. Adding it to concrete and other materials increases their density and wear resistance, which extends the life of structures. Microsilica has been delivered by Elkem to a number of major projects in Norway and internationally, including the Øresund/Great Belt connection.
Elkem Materials also produces Ceramite, a fireproof material which is particularly heat resistant and hard wearing. Treatment technology has been supplied by Elkem to industries worldwide for many years, and the company is currently involved with major filtration projects in China. In this way, environmental solutions developed by Norwegian industry help to deal with pollution problems in other parts of the world.
5 Elkem Carbon
Elkem is the world’s largest producer of electrically-calcinated anthracite and Søderberg electrode paste. Carbon production takes place at Elkem Fiskaa in Norway, Carboindustrial and Carboderivados in Brazil, Elkem Carbon in China and Elkem Ferroveld JV in South Africa. The last of these is owned 50 per cent.
6 Elkem Research
Elkem Research and the group’s central research centre are located in the south Norwegian city of Kristiansand. Our business concept is “from idea to new industry”, and our vision is to be a world leader in the development of high-temperature technology for producing materials.
The commitment to Elkem Solar is a good example of how a business idea has passed through all the development stages to become a new environment-friendly business concept.
