PROFILE |
 |
SIMCALA, also known as Silicon Mining Co. of Alabama, produces high-grade silicon metal, which is used in chemical and aluminum products. The aluminum industry uses silicon metal to make alloys for automotive components such as engine housings, pistons, and cast aluminum wheels. Chemical companies use it to produce silicone for lubricants, gaskets, and cosmetics, and to make polysilicon, an element used in making silicon wafers for semiconductor chips. SIMCALA's smelting process also produces microsilica, which is used as a strengthener and filler by companies in the concrete, refractory, mineral, and oil exploration industries. CGW Southeast Partners III controls the company.
