💡 #Siliconmetal is an indispensable raw material for the security and development of our societies. For this reason, the European Union has classified it as a “critical and strategic” element to maintain its industrial sovereignty. 🌍 Les Echos has published an opinion piece signed by Benjamin Crespy, Chief Operating Officer at Ferroglobe PLC, in which he claims that the European industry, and particularly France, the leading producer of silicon in the region, is rapidly losing market share to “less restricted competitors”, which has caused an unprecedented collapse in prices and the shutdown of production plants. 🗣 Crespy issues an urgent call to action to protect the European #supplychain and French Silicon with the adoption of strong measures aligned with the specificity and criticality of this key metal industry for Europe’s present and future”. 🤝 At Ferroglobe PLC, we are proud to responsibly manufacture top-quality silicon metal and ferroalloys, working closely with our customers to innovate and improve our competitiveness. Still, today’s market challenges mean our efforts must go even further—especially against less restricted competitors. 🗞 Check out the full article from our COO here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eCxza_8e #FerroglobeFrance #ShapingOurFuture #ShapingYourFuture

📌 At Ferroglobe PLC, we are proud to support the communities around our Mahale Mine in Limpopo, South Africa, through meaningful development projects as part of our Social Labor Plan and #ESG Commitments. 📚 Last week, our team handed over the brand new Nhlayiso Learning Center to the community of Prieska Village. What was once a small 4x4m classroom for 36 children and two teachers is now a fully equipped early learning facility with two large classrooms, a sick bay, modern ablution facilities, an office and a kitchen. It has become the only school that caters for small children in the early stages of school and development. 🤝 The opening of the center is a result of the joint effort between the local Tribal Authority, including the representative of the local Induna (village chief), and several members of the Ferroglobe South Africa and Thaba Chueu Mining teams. 👏 A huge thank you to our South African team and everyone involved in making this special project possible. We are proud to play a role in creating opportunities through education and to continue making a meaningful impact on the local communities that surround us. #FerroglobeSouthAfrica #CommunityImpact #BuildingourFuture

🔋 As the U.S. works to secure its #battery supply chain, anode-grade graphite remains a critical gap and poses real risks to national security and energy resilience. Bill Hightower, V.P. of U.S. Corporate Affairs for Ferroglobe PLC, and Jonathan Tan, CEO and Co-founder of Coreshell Technologies, have called attention to this issue in a bylined article published by RealClearDefense.   💡 The article highlights that, despite domestic efforts to ramp up battery production, over 90% of #anode materials still come from China, an unsustainable dependence. Against this scenario, the authors urge that reshoring critical materials is not only a technological imperative, but a strategic one.   🚀 At Ferroglobe, we are proud to be part of the solution. With our domestic production of high-purity #siliconmetal, a key input for next-gen battery anodes, we are helping to lay the foundation for a resilient, homegrown battery ecosystem, in collaboration with Coreshell.   🗞 Check the article in the link below 👇 https://lnkd.in/e7Vw4Y8h   #Ferroglobe #FerroglobeUSA #ShapingOurFuture #ShapingYourFuture

🗣 Marco Levi, CEO of Ferroglobe PLC, was interviewed at the CRU Ferroalloys Europe conference by McCloskey by OPIS, A Dow Jones Company, where he stressed the urgent need for anti-dumping safeguards to help EU alloy producers survive in an increasingly unbalanced trade environment. 📉 Levi highlighted the existential crisis faced by European #Ferroalloy producers due to overproduction from countries like China, India, and Kazakhstan, which are “flooding the market with cheaper imports”. During the interview, he stated that “we are not asking for measures that exclude imports. We seek a reasonable balance. Our goal is to recover a 40% share of the European market for critical and strategic materials, compared to the current 15%.” 🌍 In response, the European Commission is preparing a proposal for safeguard measures aimed at revitalizing European production. Levi claimed that provisional measures “to restore balance between EU supply and imports must be implemented without any delay” as the current market environment has caused around 60% of Europe’s Ferroalloys capacity to be idled or completely shut. 🤝 “The survival of the European industry is at stake”, warned Levi, and this situation encourages Ferroglobe to continue advocating for a competitive market that guarantees a secure supply chain for strategic materials. Many thanks to Randy Fabi for the great meeting in Amsterdam and this article. #CRUFerroalloysEU #Ferroglobe #ShapingOurFuture #ShapingYourFuture
