Hemlock in search of new polysilicon plant location

06 February 2008 | By Mark Osborne | News > Materials
HemlockHaving already allocated approximately $1.5 billion to significantly expand polysilicon production, Hemlock Semiconductor, the largest maker of high-grade polysilicon, is in the process of searching for a new site for further expansion, according to the Financial Times.
 
The story notes that Hemlock has completely sold all available production through 2012 even though production is expected to rise from 10,000 tons in 2008 to 36,000 tons in 2012.

Interestingly, Hemlock is also looking outside the United States for a possible location, and a decision can be expected in the next several months.
