A New Benchmark for U.S. Silicon Metal Manufacturing
Sinova is developing a state-of-the-art silicon metal manufacturing facility in Lake County, Tennessee, near the Port of Cates Landing. Fully permitted and construction-ready, the plant can be in production within 24 months of securing final funding.
As one of the largest planned silicon metal plants outside China, Sinova Silicon will strengthen North America’s industrial base and help reduce reliance on foreign imports. This Made in the USA operation will play a vital role in restoring domestic supply chains for high-purity silicon metal—an essential material for energy, technology, and transportation.
Strategic Location & Supply Chain Advantage
Located just south of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, the facility offers seamless access to inland waterways, major rail lines, highway networks, and high-voltage power infrastructure. The raw quartz supply will come from Sinova Quartz, our wholly owned, high-purity quartz deposit in Golden, British Columbia, ensuring a secure integrated North American supply chain.
Powering Innovation Across Industries
Silicon metal is a critical input in the production of:
- Photovoltaic solar panels
- Semiconductors and integrated circuits
- Aluminum-silicon alloys for lightweight vehicles and aircraft
- Electric vehicle and energy storage components
Sinova Silicon will help meet accelerating demand from clean energy, automotive, and electronics sectors—all while supporting American manufacturing independence.
