Under the agreement, Milliken will offer consistent bulk supply of Elkem cyclics and fluids, supported by its established North American presence and long-standing customer relationships. By pairing Elkem's vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities with Milliken's deep market access, the agreement gives customers greater confidence in supply reliability while offering flexibility as they balance domestic and international sourcing.

The agreement reflects a shared focus on responsible manufacturing and transparency across the value chain. Elkem's production model includes silicon metal sourced from Norway, which provides customers with more visibility into material origin and sourcing practices, while supporting demand for lower-carbon material options in North America.
