Based in Montreal, Canada, HPQ Silicon Inc. and its subsidiaries specialize in providing advanced silica and silicon-based solutions. The company is actively developing a portfolio of next-generation silicon products, primarily targeting the burgeoning battery and electric vehicle industries. Central to its innovation is the development of the PUREVAPTM Quartz Reduction Reactor (QRR), an advanced process engineered to convert raw quartz directly into high-purity silicon. Furthermore, HPQ is developing a method that utilizes the silicon produced by the QRR as a feedstock to create a variety of nano/micro spherical powders and nanowires. It is also pioneering a plasma-based technology designed for the direct transformation of quartz into fumed silica. Originally incorporated in 1996 as HPQ-Silicon Resources Inc., the company adopted its current name, HPQ Silicon Inc., in July 2022.
