PVA TePla AG: Cooperation Agreement signed for supply of solar cell crystal
growing systems to China
Aßlar, 17.05.2005: Based on the letter of intent announced on 30.03.2005,
the Crystal Growing Systems division of PVA TePla AG has now signed a
seven-year Cooperation Agreement with its partner in China. The agreement
includes extensive confidentiality arrangements.
In total, the agreed partnership provides for delivery, in several stages
and to various locations, of several hundred crystal growing systems for
solar cell silicon wafers. In the first stage, around 140 systems will be
supplied to China. This would mean an expected annual order volume of up to
EUR 50 million in the first two years, but is conditional on the
availability of raw silicon on the part of the customer.
An initial order for 31 systems valued at around EUR 24 milllion was agreed
with the customer as part of the first stage. However, this order is
subject to approval by the Supervisory Board of the customer enterprise.
The parts for these systems are mainly produced in Germany.
