## About Ferroglobe

Ferroglobe is one of the world's leading makers of silicon metal as well as silicon- and manganese-based alloys, headquartered in London. Its plants across Europe, North America and South Africa supply aluminum producers, chemical companies, solar manufacturers and steel mills, and the company is pushing into higher-purity silicon for batteries and electronics.

## Ferroglobe's critical minerals business

Ferroglobe is a processor rather than a miner of its critical minerals. It turns quartz into silicon metal, which aluminum alloy makers, silicone producers and the solar and semiconductor industries all rely on, and it makes the manganese alloys that steelmakers need. As one of the few large silicon producers outside China, it is closely watched by Western buyers worried about supply.

## Where Ferroglobe operates

Ferroglobe operates silicon and ferroalloy plants in Spain, France and Norway, in the United States, in Ohio, Alabama and West Virginia among other states, as well as in Canada and South Africa. Some plants draw on its own quartz and energy sources, while others buy raw materials in.
