Ferroglobe Comments on European Commission's Initiation of Interim Review of Antidumping Measures on Chinese Silicon Metal Imports

The European Commission has formally initiated an interim review of antidumping duties on silicon metal imports from China.
The review covers both dumping practices & injury allegations following a request filed by Euroalliages on July 8, 2026.
Ferroglobe PLC confirmed the action, which examines whether Chinese imports were sold below fair value & caused material injury to EU producers.
This investigation follows years of industry data highlighting underpriced shipments as a primary headwind for the European sector.
The move adds to a series of favorable trade measures including U.S. antidumping duties on imports from Angola, Australia, Laos & Norway.
Existing EU safeguards on ferrosilicon & manganese alloys have been in effect since November 2025, with enhanced steel safeguards starting July 2026.
CEO Marco Levi stated the investigation aims to restore fair competition & support a stable, domestically anchored silicon metal supply.
Management noted production shifts from China to Angola are creating additional pressure on the European market.
The company emphasized the need to prevent the substitution of dumped silicon metal for ferrosilicon to sustain a healthy market.
Ferroglobe views these protections as validation that the West faces a processing capacity problem rather than a resource shortage.
