Desheng And OCI Have Begun To Build A Polysilicon Plant In Malaysia

    The Japanese chemical company Tosoh Corporation and the South Korean polysilicon producer OCI have begun construction of a 10,000MT polysilicon plant in the Samalaju Industrial Park in Sarawak, Borneo, Malaysia. 
    In a statement, Doshan said, "Doshan and OCI TerraSus jointly established OTSM Company, which will be responsible for the production and sale of semi-finished polycrystalline silicon for semiconductors." 
    This factory with a production capacity of 10,000MT is under construction, with an investment of approximately 435 million US dollars. 
    OCIM Sdn Bhd (OCIMSB), a subsidiary of OCI in Malaysia, is currently operating a 35,000MT polysilicon plant in the Samalaju Industrial Park in Sarawak, Borneo. This plant was acquired from Tosoh in 2016. With this plant and a 3,000MT plant in Gunsan, South Korea, the group's total annual polysilicon production capacity now stands at 38,000MT. 
In August 2024, Desan signed an agreement with Thanh Binh Phu My JSC to invest 30 million US dollars in building a polysilicon factory in the Phu My 3 Industrial Park in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, Vietnam.
