Washington Mills AS
As a part of its acquisition of Exolon-ESK, Washington Mills acquired Exolon-ESK’s 50% interest in Exolon-ESK’s Norwegian silicon carbide subsidiary, now known as Washington Mills AS. Washington Mills AS began silicon carbide operations in Orkanger, Norway in 1962 where it continues to operate to this day. In 2004 Washington Mills purchased the remaining 50% interest in Washington Mills AS, thus making it a wholly-owned subsidiary of Washington Mills.
