Corporate News of November 12, 2008
For 2009, Solar-Fabrik AG (ISIN: DE0006614712) is budgeting growth of
at least 70% for module sales. Agreements with suppliers and 
customers have already been signed for 2009; these should be 
reflected in high capacity utilisation levels.
Solar-Fabrik is currently installing a third production facility for 
solar power modules in Freiburg. The process of expanding the new 
fully automatic production line is running to schedule. The plant 
will be commissioned in the first quarter of 2009, and will boost the
production capacity of Solar-Fabrik AG by 60 Megawatts (MW) to a 
total of 130 MW. The structured financing arrangement concluded last 
year has put in place the financial resources necessary for the 
planned expansion.
Exports at Solar-Fabrik accounted for 54.3% of overall sales in the 
first nine months of 2008. This percentage is expected to exceed the 
level of 60% next year. Strong growth has been reported particularly 
for Asia and Spain, and considerable growth has also been achieved in
France and Belgium. At present, the most important markets in 2009 
are expected to by Germany, France, Italy and the Benelux countries. 
The range of products is being extended to include specific country 
products. Following the election of Barack Obama as the next American
President, it is generally expected that a very large market will 
develop in the USA. Solar-Fabrik AG has already established a 
subsidiary in the USA, and is making preparations for breaking into 
this market.
Solar-Fabrik also expects to report significant growth in sales and 
earnings next year. Because the payback periods of previous 
investments are improving strongly, Solar-Fabrik aims to achieve an 
EBIT return of more than 8% in the medium term across all divisions 
of the company.
