Elkem launches updated logo and brand profile
Elkem is today launching an updated logo and brand profile. The update follows changes in the corporate portfolio and aims to support the company’s strategy of growth in advanced material solutions – shaping a better and more sustainable future. The updated brand will be applied globally from 7 April 2021.
Elkem is a global provider of advanced material solutions, with more than 6,800 employees and 29 production sites worldwide. The company offers silicones, silicon products and carbon solutions through dedicated business divisions. Elkem helps its customers create and improve essential innovations like electric mobility, digital communications, health and personal care, and smart and sustainable cities.
“We are proud to launch the updated Elkem brand to stakeholders globally. Today, we achieve a fully aligned identity across our business divisions and locations around the world. We also better reflect our strategy of growth driven by operational excellence and increased specialisation, as we position the company for the future,” says Elkem’s CEO, Michael Koenig.
Over the past years, Elkem has expanded as a global provider offering a complete value chain from quartz to specialty silicones, including the 2015 acquisition of Bluestar Silicones and the 2017 integration of the Xinghuo and Yongdeng plants in China. In 2019, Elkem acquired Basel Chemie in South Korea, followed by Polysil in China in 2020 and a specialty silicones plant in France in 2021.
Elkem’s growth in silicones and in Asia complements its strong positions as a supplier of silicon products and carbon solutions to global markets. Elkem is also exploring new opportunities in green technologies like advanced battery materials.

“The Elkem brand represents a unique legacy of continuous improvement and innovation over more than a century, always with a focus on the future and an international perspective. This update reflects changes in our portfolio and positions us well for further change yet to come.
