Description
MEMC Electronic Materials, now known as SunEdison, is a global leader in the semiconductor and solar energy industry. Founded in 1959, the company has a long and rich history in the United States. Its headquarters are located in St.
Peters, Missouri. Initially, MEMC focused on the production of silicon wafers, a vital component in the semiconductor industry. These wafers served as the foundation for the manufacture of integrated circuits and other electronic devices.
Over time, MEMC expanded its product offerings to include silicon-on-insulator wafers and refined polysilicon. The company's operations are global, with manufacturing facilities in the United States, Asia, and Europe. It also has a significant presence in the solar energy market through its subsidiary, SunEdison.
SunEdison specializes in solar power plants, solar panels, and solar project development. The company has formed numerous joint ventures and partnerships to expand its reach and capabilities, including collaborations with Huawei, Samsung, and Oerlikon Solar. MEMC, now SunEdison, holds a strong market position both in the semiconductor and solar energy industries.
It has facilities in key global markets, enabling it to serve customers worldwide. The company's global sales and market share have increased significantly, positioning it as a major player in both industries. In terms of competitors, MEMC faces competition from companies like Shin-Etsu Chemical, OCI Company, and LDK Solar.
In recent years, SunEdison underwent a strategic shift to focus primarily on the solar energy market. This transition involved divesting certain non-core assets and entering into large-scale solar project partnerships. Such strategic moves have bolstered the brand's growth and market position within the renewable energy sector.
As of the latest available information, SunEdison faced financial challenges and went bankrupt in 2016. The company's assets were subsequently acquired by Greenlight Capital and its affiliates, leading to the formation of a new entity. However, the latest updates on SunEdison's current status or significant changes beyond 2016 are unknown
