Elkem participated in the 7th China International Import Expo, one of the world's biggest trade fairs. Under the theme "Exploring New 'Silicone' Paths," we showcased our cutting-edge technologies and material innovations across four key areas: smart mobility, life sciences, smart cities, and comfortable living 🔋 One of the highlights of the convention was celebrating our 120-year anniversary 🎉 We marked the occasion with a ceremony at our booth and were honoured to be joined by Marianne Sivertsen Næss, Norway's Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Policy, Vebjørn Dysvik, the Norwegian Ambassador to China, and Tobias F. Svenningsen, Norwegian Consul General in Shanghai. Sandy Chen, SVP of Elkem Silicones, and Laurent Dumont, Vice President of Strategic Business for Elkem Silicones, presented some of the company's history and achievements, highlighting how far Elkem has come since its early beginnings as a startup in 1904. Now a global leader in silicon-based solutions with over 7400 employees, including 550 researchers, worldwide, we're supplying and enabling the #DigitalTransition and #GreenTransition while developing groundbreaking solutions for a more sustainable future 🌱 Our R&D centre in Shanghai, for example, is dedicated to developing specialised silicones for hybrid and electric vehicles 🚗 and our expansion project at the Xinghuo plant has greatly increased production capacity and product quality, while reducing emissions. The key to our success? 💡 "Our spirit of innovation and willingness to pioneer new technology," Sandy told attendees at our ceremony.
