法国里昂，2017年6月30日：埃肯集团宣布并购中国的两家工厂，蓝星有机硅更名为埃肯有机硅。

 

 

As part of Elkem’s growth strategy we are assuming responsibility for Bluestar Xinghuo Silicones and Yongdeng Silicon Materials and integrating them into the Elkem group. The two plants have previously been owned directly by our owners, China National Bluestar. This move further develops Elkem’s integrated silicone value chain, from upstream quartz mining to silicon, silicones and downstream silicones specialities. The Elkem group will now have 26 manufacturing sites and about 6200 employees. 

 

作为埃肯增长战略的一部分，原先由中国蓝星集团直接管理的蓝星星火有机硅厂和永登硅材料厂并入埃肯集团。此举进一步拓展了埃肯的有机硅一体化产业链，囊括了从上游的金属硅和有机硅，到下游特种有机硅产品。经过并购之后，埃肯集团现有26个生产基地以及约6200名员工。

 

 

- With this integration, Elkem can capitalize on the strengths of its industrial footprint, R&D competencies, and sales and marketing excellence so that Elkem Silicones can provide even more value to our customers and stakeholders. We are excited to grow the Elkem group and to develop the company further, says Helge Aasen, CEO of Elkem.

 

- 埃肯首席执行官Helge Aasen表示：通过该并购项目，埃肯将充分展现其在工业分布、研发实力以及卓越营销和销售方面的优势，促使埃肯有机硅为客户和利益相关者创造更多的价值。我们将不遗余力地促进埃肯集团的发展壮大。

 

 

At the same time as Elkem assumes responsibility for the two new entities, Elkem’s silicones division is changing its name from Bluestar Silicones to Elkem Silicones.

 

在两厂并入埃肯旗下的同时，原先埃肯旗下的有机硅事业部 — 法国蓝星有机硅也随之更名为埃肯有机硅。

 

 

- Being part of Elkem gives a strong financial foundation for further growth, enabling Elkem Silicones to remain a competitive and agile provider of innovative silicone solutions. Elkem Silicones will become an important player in the fast-growing silicones industry to enable our customers to deliver their potential, says Frederic Jacquin CEO of Elkem Silicones.

 

- 埃肯有机硅首席执行官Frederic Jacquin表示：并入埃肯也为子公司的未来发展奠定了坚实的经济基础，重组后的埃肯有机硅将以灵活的创新解决方案供应商之姿，继续保持市场竞争优势。在快速发展的有机硅行业中，埃肯有机硅必将成为强有力的参与者，帮助广大客户开拓无限潜能。

 

 

The new Elkem Silicones division will group together about 3000 employees for an annual turnover approaching 1 Billion Euros. The division will operate with a strong base comprising 2 upstream manufacturing sites, one located in Asia and one located in Europe, along with 8 downstream manufacturing sites and 10 R&D centres worldwide.

 

新组建的埃肯有机硅事业部将拥有约3000名员工，年营业额接近10亿欧元。该事业部在亚洲和欧洲各有一个上游生产基地，另外还在世界各地设有8个下游生产基地和10研发中心。

 

 

We are excited to be part of this growth story and to keep improving and developing our offering in the silicones industry further. Our new footprint will contribute to offer our customers better service, stronger growth capabilities and continued security of supply, says Jacquin.

 

Jacquin表示：作为公司成长历程中的一份子，我们将满怀斗志地改善产品和服务，在有机硅行业中不断发展壮大。我们将以全新的面貌为客户提供更优质的服务，实现更强劲的增长，并保证持续稳定的产品供应。
