The 25th National \"Safety Production Month\" in 2026: Everyone should talk about safety and know how to handle emergencies; identify and address potential risks and hazards. -------------------------------------------------- China BlueStar (Group) Co., Ltd. announced that on June 23, Elkem Silicones officially changed its name to \"Bluestar Silicones\". On April 30, 2026, China Blue Star (Group) Co., Ltd. completed the acquisition of the core assets of Aker’s silicone business. Upon completion of the transfer, Blue Star will no longer hold any shares in Eken, thereby achieving a strategic integration of Eken’s core assets in the silicone business.
