A move to restructure Renewable Energy Corp., which employs 300 full-time workers in its Butte plant, isn’t expected to lead to layoffs, the company said Wednesday.

The Norway-based business is splitting its solar and silicon divisions into independent listed companies.

The Butte plant, about five miles southwest of town, makes polysilicon and silane gases for the electronics market. Silane gases are used in semiconductor, flat screen displays and thin-film technologies.
