Elkem news

Elkem is negotiating with a major industrial player to sell its Silicones division, aiming to focus on Silicon Products and Carbon Solutions. Transaction expected to close in H1 2026.

Elkem validates a new mechanical recycling process for HCR, enabling over 50% reintegration, reducing waste and carbon footprint, and supporting circular economy goals.

A pilot project in Lyon uses patented recycling to reduce silicone waste, cut emissions, and support the green transition, funded by France 2030 and EU's NextGenerationEU.

A fire broke out at a silicon plant in Norway. Four individuals were treated, and production halted. The fire is under control, and all personnel are accounted for.

The funding supports capacity expansion in Roussillon and investments in Saint-Fons to meet high-tech market demand, enhance production, and improve environmental performance.

The €36M investment will boost capacity by 20,000 metric tons, enhance productivity, and improve sustainability. Completion is expected in Q3 2023, supporting EMEA and Americas markets.
