Simcoa Exits US Amid Tariff Fallout | Adelaide News
Description
Australia’s sole silicon producer, Simcoa, is pulling out of the US market next week after Trump-era tariffs made operations untenable, calling the duties “absolute rubbish” and vowing never to return. The US trade commission justified the 40% tariff by claiming Australian imports were subsidized and undercutting domestic producers — a move Simcoa’s leadership rejects as illegal and damaging. Though part of Japan’s Shin-Etsu Chemical, the company is pivoting to Southeast Asia and India to survive, while Australia’s government insists the tariffs are unjust and won’t derail its broader critical minerals partnership with the US. Despite setbacks, Simcoa sees global supply chain shifts away from China as potential opportunities in new markets.
