法國(guó)里昂，2017年6月30日：?？霞瘓F(tuán)宣布并購(gòu)中國(guó)的兩家工廠，藍(lán)星有機(jī)硅更名為?？嫌袡C(jī)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.
作為?？显鲩L(zhǎng)戰(zhàn)略的一部分，原先由中國(guó)藍(lán)星集團(tuán)直接管理的藍(lán)星星火有機(jī)硅廠和永登硅材料廠并入?？霞瘓F(tuán)。此舉進(jìn)一步拓展了?？系挠袡C(jī)硅一體化產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈，囊括了從上游的金屬硅和有機(jī)硅，到下游特種有機(jī)硅產(chǎn)品。經(jīng)過(guò)并購(gòu)之后，埃肯集團(tuán)現(xiàn)有26個(gè)生產(chǎn)基地以及約6200名員工。
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.
?？鲜紫瘓?zhí)行官Helge Aasen表示：通過(guò)該并購(gòu)項(xiàng)目，?？蠈⒊浞终宫F(xiàn)其在工業(yè)分布、研發(fā)實(shí)力以及卓越營(yíng)銷和銷售方面的優(yōu)勢(shì)，促使?？嫌袡C(jī)硅為客戶和利益相關(guān)者創(chuàng)造更多的價(jià)值。我們將不遺余力地促進(jìn)?？霞瘓F(tuán)的發(fā)展壯大。
 
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.
在兩廠并入埃肯旗下的同時(shí)，原先?？掀煜碌挠袡C(jī)硅事業(yè)部 — 法國(guó)藍(lán)星有機(jī)硅也隨之更名為?？嫌袡C(jī)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.
?？嫌袡C(jī)硅首席執(zhí)行官Frederic Jacquin表示：并入?？弦矠樽庸镜奈磥?lái)發(fā)展奠定了堅(jiān)實(shí)的經(jīng)濟(jì)基礎(chǔ)，重組后的?？嫌袡C(jī)硅將以靈活的創(chuàng)新解決方案供應(yīng)商之姿，繼續(xù)保持市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)優(yōu)勢(shì)。在快速發(fā)展的有機(jī)硅行業(yè)中，?？嫌袡C(jī)硅必將成為強(qiáng)有力的參與者，幫助廣大客戶開拓?zé)o限潛能。
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.
新組建的埃肯有機(jī)硅事業(yè)部將擁有約3000名員工，年?duì)I業(yè)額接近10億歐元。該事業(yè)部在亞洲和歐洲各有一個(gè)上游生產(chǎn)基地，另外還在世界各地設(shè)有8個(gè)下游生產(chǎn)基地和10研發(fā)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：作為公司成長(zhǎng)歷程中的一份子，我們將滿懷斗志地改善產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)，在有機(jī)硅行業(yè)中不斷發(fā)展壯大。我們將以全新的面貌為客戶提供更優(yōu)質(zhì)的服務(wù)，實(shí)現(xiàn)更強(qiáng)勁的增長(zhǎng)，并保證持續(xù)穩(wěn)定的產(chǎn)品供應(yīng)。
