Globe Specialty Metals is an apt name for a company that peddles its metals around the world. The specialty metals manufacturer sells silicon metal and silicon-based alloys to customers in the Americas, Asia, and Europe from facilities in the US, Argentina, China, and Poland. Its silicon metal and alloys are used to make a variety of industrial products, from aluminum and automotive parts to steel and semiconductors. It holds about one-fifth of the Western market share for magnesium ferrosilicon. Globe also recycles by-products such as silica fume, a dust-like material known as microsilica that is collected in air filtration systems, which it sells for use as a concrete additive.
