What ReSiTec does
ReSiTec AS is a Norwegian privately-held technology company founded in 2012, headquartered in Kristiansand, Norway, with a second production site at Glamsland/Lilesand and 11-50 employees. The company specializes in powder and slurry technology for processing silicon, silicon carbide, quartz, graphite, metallurgical slags, and complex ores. It operates two full-scale pilot and production plants equipped with jet milling (including inert atmosphere for reactive materials), flotation, magnetic and electrostatic separation, dewatering/drying, and hydrometallurgical processing trains. Its core technology is proprietary inert-atmosphere jet milling that delivers customized particle size distributions essentially free of added impurities, combined with hydrometallurgical flowsheets (cementation, electrowinning) for metal extraction from secondary and primary feedstocks.
The company sells a portfolio of branded advanced powder products — micronized silicon (RST-Si-97,5, RST-Si-99, RST-Si-99,9), sub-micron silicon (RST-Si-1M), silicon carbide (RST-SiC-98), and customized agglomerated and quartz powders — while simultaneously offering development and toll-manufacturing services. It generates revenue through (i) R&D and process development contracts, (ii) scale-up and piloting engagements, (iii) toll manufacturing of powders and slurries, and (iv) transaction-based industrial side-stream recycling, notably silicon wafer kerf from PV manufacturing. Customer segments include lithium-ion battery materials producers (Morrow Batteries, Elkem), the photovoltaic/solar supply chain (Norsun, ICARUS consortium), refractory and ceramics manufacturers, deep-sea and terrestrial mining/metallurgy actors (Adepth Minerals via EMINENT), and external R&D organizations served through the Future Materials Norwegian Catapult.
ReSiTec monetizes its capabilities largely via EU and national grant-funded consortia (Horizon 2020 projects ICARUS, COBRA, CABRISS, SELISI, HARARE; Green Platform REEUNiTe; Research Council of Norway / SIVA / Innovation Norway EMINENT; EIT Raw Materials) supplemented by direct industrial R&D and supply agreements. Ownership rests with Å Energi Invest (formerly Agder Energi Venture), with ReSiTec co-owning Future Materials AS alongside Elkem, Norner, Arendal Fossekompani, and the University of Agder. NS-EN ISO 9001:2015 certification (June 2022, Kiwa) underpins its quality posture for enterprise battery, PV, and refractory customers.
