"China represents the most critical market for the success of the PV Industry. It is projected that about 25% of worldwide PV installations and over 60% of cell production will occur in China over the next three years," states Andreas Liebheit, Global Manager of the Heraeus Photovoltaics Business Unit. "Heraeus has made an important decision to increase our dedication to this market by expanding our production capability in China to produce front-side metallization pastes. This decision not only shows our enormous commitment to the market in China, it also allows Heraeus to increase our flexibility in meeting our Chinese partners' specific demands on our products. We can significantly reduce delivery times down to two days after the receipt of a purchase order. We will also increase our local technical staff to provide our partners with better access to our technical expertise."
Notably, Heraeus is the pioneer among all large volume metallization paste suppliers by entering China with local front-side production.
