- Manz becomes a provider of turnkey integrated production lines for CIGS
thin-film solar modules
Reutlingen/Schwäbisch-Hall, July 16, 2010 - Manz Automation AG and Würth
Solar GmbH & Co. KG today signed a know-how licensing and strategic
alliance agreement. This regulates the exclusive licensing of the
production technology for CIGS photovoltaic modules from Würth Solar to
Manz. In addition, in the strategic alliance agreement Manz Automation AG
has also secured Würth Solar's support for planning and executing the
production lines for CIGS modules as well as the commissioning and ramp-up.
A further key component of the agreement is the exclusive access to
research results with regard to CIGS modules on glass substrates from the
Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Württemberg (ZSW
- Center for solar energy and hydrogen research), which results from the
existing contractual relationship between Würth Solar and ZSW.
This strategic alliance has increased Manz Automation's business model,
which means that in the future it will be able to offer its customers an
integrated production solution for CIGS solar modules. Manz Automation's
Managing Board believes that this step will bring significant revenue and
earnings growth from fiscal year 2011.
Manz Automation will publish further details of this strategic alliance as
part of a press release on July 19, 2010.
