Megacontract for new silicon-metal plant in Kazakhstan
On completion of the plant by ThyssenKrupp Mannex, its Essen-based affiliate ThyssenKrupp Metallurgie GmbH (also part of ThyssenKrupp Services), will take over exclusive global marketing of the entire production of silicon metal (around 25,000 tonnes annually). Silicon metal is an essential ingredient in the production of aluminum casting alloys as well as being used in the chemical industry for making such products as silicone and semiconductors (for processors and solar cells).
Both companies have for many years now had good business ties with Kazakhstan.
