Founded in 1904, Elkem ASA has evolved into a leading global provider of silicon-based materials and carbon products. The company operates primarily through its Silicon Products and Carbon Solutions segments, having recently completed the divestment of its Silicones division to China National Bluestar in April 2026 to become a more focused metals and materials producer. Its product portfolio includes metallurgical silicon, microsilica, specialty foundry alloys, and carbon electrode materials. With over 30 production sites globally, Elkem leverages its access to renewable hydropower in Norway to manufacture products with a lower carbon footprint. The company supplies critical raw materials to a wide range of industries, including construction, electronics, automotive, and renewable energy.
