	The plants at Sriramnagar have facilities for raw material handling, metal, and slag casting, crushing, sizing and other ancillaries apart from furnaces for the smelting of ferroalloys. The raw materials are manganese ore, [[chromite]] and [[quartzite]] ores with principal elements of [[manganese]], [[chromium]] and [[silicon]] respectively. They are obtained from the [[Andhra Pradesh]], [[Odisha, India\|Odisha]], [[Madhya Pradesh]] and [[Bihar]] states. The Ferro Alloys produced are High Carbon Ferro Chrome, Low Carbon Ferro Chrome, [[Silicochrome]], [[Silicomanganese]], and [[Magnesium Ferrosilicon]], [[Ferromanganese]] etc., These alloys are tapped from electric arc furnaces in the molten state. They are prepared to the required size from 25  mm to 150  mm and transported to the various steel companies. The furnaces are connected to Two-stage venturi scrubber systems to maintain a clean environment in and around the production area.

'''The Ferro Alloys Corporation Limited''' (FACOR) was floated in 1955 by the house of Sarafs and Mors to become the first major producer of [[ferromanganese]] in [[India]].

The year 1956, marked the beginning of the Ferro Alloys Corporation Limited at [[Sriramnagar, Vizianagaram|Sriramnagar]], [[Garividi]], [[Vizianagaram district]], [[Andhra Pradesh]]. The founder was Seth Shriman Durgaprasadji Saraf (1911–1988). The registered office is at [[Tumsar]], [[Bhandara district]], [[Maharashtra]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.facorsteel.com/aboutus.php?page=2 |title=Facor Steel Ltd,Nagpur |publisher=Facorsteel.com |accessdate=2010-12-08 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101016100029/http://www.facorsteel.com/aboutus.php?page=2 |archivedate=16 October 2010 }}</ref>

FACOR has been accredited under [[ISO 9001:2000]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.facorgroup.in/overview.html |title=::.FACOR.::Ferro Alloys Corporation Ltd |publisher=Facorgroup.in |date=2009-03-19 |accessdate=2010-12-17 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101112015531/http://www.facorgroup.in/overview.html |archivedate=12 November 2010 }}</ref>

The existing manpower at Sriramnagar is about 784 regular employees with 107 supervisory personnel, besides 1070 contract workmen.

In 2003, the charge chrome division along with the mining division in Odisha has been demerged as FACOR STEELS Ltd and the Ferro Alloys division at Garividi as FACOR ALLOYS Ltd.
