The Hemlock Semiconductor Group, the world’s biggest maker of polysilicon, is delaying plans to expand at a site in Tennessee.
Hemlock, based in the Michigan town of the same name, has put off plans to add additional phases at its Clarksville, Tennessee plant because of a lack of demand, Jerrod Erpelding, a company spokesman, wrote in an e-mail today. He said the company is cutting a “small percentage” of the 2,500 contractors working at the site.
