Holding & Projects
As of January 1, 2022, the PCC Group has a new segment structure considering the developments in our group of companies in recent years. In particular, the activities of the three segments of specialty chemicals, energy as well as consumer goods are rearranged and we also create separate new segments for our activities in the two areas of silicon metal and trading. Overall, the new structure comprises seven segments instead of the previous eight: Polyols & Derivatives, Surfactants & Derivatives, Chlorine & Derivatives, Silicon & Derivatives, Trading & Services, Logistics and Holding & Projects.
In July, PCC SE founds the subsidiary PCC Thorion GmbH for activities in the field of lithium-ion batteries. PCC Thorion GmbH bundles development, production, and marketing of silicon-based solutions to increase the performance of li-ion batteries. These activities are based, on the one hand, on the silicon produced by PCC BakkiSilicon hf. in Iceland in a climate and environmentally friendly manner. On the other hand PCC Thorion relies on a new type of silicon-carbon composite material from a cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, which, as an anode material, significantly improves the performance of lithium-ion batteries.
