Revitalising the Ferroalloy Industry for a Sustainable Future
Our flagship smelter in Sarawak manufactures ferrosilicon and manganese alloys, which are essential, non-substitutable components for the global steelmaking industry. While steel production is resource-intensive, the material itself remains a foundational pillar of the global energy transition. From electric vehicles and solar panels to wind turbines, steel serves as the backbone of the infrastructure needed to meet global net-zero goals. According to the International Energy Agency, Iron and Steel Technology Roadmap 2020, global steel demand has surged more than threefold since 1970 and is projected to grow by an additional one-third by 2050. Ferroalloys, such as ferrosilicon and manganese alloys, are indispensable to the integrity of steel, providing the durability and strength required for various applications. With a typical consumption of 3-4 kg of ferrosilicon and 10 kg of manganese alloy per tonne of steel produced, these materials are the silent enablers of green paradigm shift.
