high-quality solar cell technology from SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES to Korea's
photovoltaic market.  With new machine concepts and manufacturing processes in

leading-edge solar cell manufacturers with highest-quality, cost-efficient
manufacturing solutions.

Kahl am Main, February 25, 2013 - SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES (SINGULUS) selected DKSH
