About Elkem

Elkem produces silicon-based materials from Norwegian quartzite and other minerals, including ferrosilicon alloys used to make steel and cast iron and Elkem Microsilica used in concrete. Its silicon is also used in electronics, solar cells and electric vehicles. Quartzite is extracted at Tana and Mårnes in Nordland and refined at Elkem's smelters.

Customers are manufacturers in steel, construction, electronics, automotive, wind energy and defence. The company sells these materials and retains Elkem Roussillon in France, which converts silicon metal into components for silicone production. In spring 2026 Elkem sold its Silicones division to Bluestar.

Elkem was founded in 1904 and has its head office in Skøyen, Oslo. The company reports about 3,000 employees in more than 30 countries, including around 1,500 jobs in Norway, six plants in Norway and two mines.
