The polysilicon production site in Charleston, Tennessee, is WACKER’s largest single investment ever, totaling some US$2.5 billion. WACKER began starting up individual plant sections in Charleston in December after a construction period of just under five years. In the coming months, we will gradually ramp up production and expect to reach Charleston’s full capacity in the third quarter of 2016.
