SHANGHAI, April 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Heraeus
Photovoltaics Global Business Unit announces the opening of their
new Regional R&D centers in Mainland China and Taiwan for the development and modification of
front-side and back-side metallization pastes during this year's
SNEC (2015) International Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference
& Exhibition from April
28th through April
30th, 2015 in Hall: W3 Booth: 660.
"The opening of R&D facilities in Mainland China and
Taiwan demonstrates our dedication
to our photovoltaic customers in these geographic markets," states
Andreas Liebheit, Head of Heraeus
Photovoltaics Global Business Unit. "The core of our research
and development is in the United
States, and we have already realized the great benefits with
faster innovation using this strategy. However, we have a
strong market reputation for product customizations to meet a
customer's specific product needs. This can be best achieved
by having our resources closer to our customers' facilities.
We will be able to reduce the time it takes to modify
products for key customers. We will be aggressively hiring highly
talented individuals in Mainland China and Taiwan to fill these newly created regional
roles in our organization. Heraeus is a company with global
resources, and to truly support our customers, we must also have a
strong local presence in key markets to meet customer needs."
This announcement follows Heraeus' relocation of their
photovoltaics business unit headquarters to Shanghai and the initiation of front-side
paste production in China in
2014. For more information, visit Heraeus at this year's SNEC
