The car industry, line pipe manufacturers and other mechanical engineering companies are also important customer categories, and applications for the company’s products include complex foundry goods such as engine blocks and manifolds. Ferrosilicon from Elkem is used by the steel industry to produce carbon and stainless grades.

Over the last few years Elkem has systematically expanded its foundry product portfolio, enabling us to provide a package of specialised products and services which will assist in providing solutions to many of the challenges encountered by our customers.

In addition to our traditional range of high quality inoculants, nodularisers and charge materials, backed by our local teams of trained sales personnel, we are now able to provide to ferrous and non-ferrous foundries

• design software and foundry process control systems as a result of our technology partnership with the leading software company Pico
• other speciality charge materials for foundry metallurgy which enable our customers to reduce their supplier base.

All of the above will continue to be supported by our global group of highly skilled foundry experts (Technical Customer Service) whose prime role is to render the advice and technical service which will lead to providing solutions to your challenges through partnership with Elkem
