Metallization paste manufacture to commence in Taiwan

HERAEUS Photovoltaics will begin manufacturing front-side metallization paste in Taipei, Taiwan on November 1, 2015. The expansion is in response to the growing role Taiwan is playing for Heraeus Photovoltaics' growth strategy. 

Andreas Liebheit, President of Heraeus Photovoltaics, “In order for us to offer customization and shorten lead times for customers, it is vital to have a strong operational presence where our customers are, and Taiwan has grown to become an important market for us," he said.

The move is expected to complement the local sales, technical staff and back-side paste production that currently exists in Taiwan. The expanded presence in Taiwan will enable Heraeus to provide a more comprehensive and integrated approach to supporting customers in Taiwan and across the Asia-Pacific region.

"Adding local front-side metalization paste production capabilities will enable us to collaborate with our customers more closely and raise the bar in terms of the responsive service we provide to them", states Pete Horan, Vice President Operations of Heraeus Photovoltaics.
