Sibelco is resuming its operations in Spruce Pine after Hurricane Helene, crucial for the local economy and high-tech industry, particularly semiconductor manufacturing.
Sibelco's CEO, Hilmar Rode, emphasized that while full recovery will take time, restarting operations is vital for supporting and rebuilding the local economy.
The Quartz Corp. has not yet rescheduled its operations since Hurricane Helene, stating its return will depend on local infrastructure recovery.
Spruce Pine quartz plays a critical role in making silicon chips, with an estimated 70% to 90% of worldwide silicon crucibles being produced from this region.
