Company Information
Reporting a further success
in Asia, centrotherm photovoltaics AG is underlining its position as 
an internationally leading provider of turnkey production lines: the 
company concluded the ramp-up of two lines for the manufacturing of 
crystalline solar cells at its customer LG Electronics. With one line
for mono-crystalline and one line for multi-crystalline solar cells, 
the Korean electronics group is entering the photovoltaic business. 
"With the first two lines, we have succeeded in entering mass solar 
cell production within the shortest possible time span," commented 
Mr. Cho, Vice President at LG Electronics. "The aim is to rapidly 
expand capacity further in order to participate in the sector's 
growth, and to develop into one of the leading solar cells 
suppliers."
LG Electronics is particularly benefiting from the fact that, within 
the scope of its standardized turnkey lines, centrotherm 
photovoltaics is also able to adapt process technology to the 
respective material quality of the wafers utilized by individual 
customers (silicon substrate for the manufacturing of crystalline 
solar cells). In this way, the photovoltaic specialists from 
Blaubeuren are able to optimize production processes, and achieve 
higher efficiencies and throughput rates. "Together with LG 
Electronics, we have successfully implemented a demanding project 
plan, and, thanks to our customer's organizational strength, we have 
even achieved our targets ahead of schedule," emphasized Robert M. 
Hartung, CEO of centrotherm photovoltaics. "We are delighted that, 
with LG Electronics, we have been able to help an additional major 
company to enter the photovoltaics market."
In the future, centrotherm photovoltaics will manage its customer 
relationship with LG Electronics from its Korean branch that was 
established in the autumn of 2009.
