Elkem was founded in 1904 by the industrial entrepreneur Sam Eyde (1866 – 1940). In 1917 a ferroalloy plant was acquired and Elkem started production of the Söderberg electrode.[2]

In 1972 the company merged with Christiania Spigerverk. In 1981-84 Elkem acquired Union Carbides plants in Norway and North America and in 1986 the plants at Thamshavn and Bjølvefossen. In the 2000s Elkem had acquired Icelandic Alloy, Remi Claeys Aluminium and Sapa.[3]

In January 2011 Elkem was sold to China National Bluestar Group.[4]
