During the InterSolar Europe exhibition from 13 – 15 June 2012, the Meyer Burger Group made a compelling appearance under its umbrella brand with positive customer echo.
Meyer Burger Technology Ltd (SIX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) underscored its strategy and strong position as a global technology leader at every stage of the photovoltaic (PV) value chain during the InterSolar Europe exhibition in Munich, Germany last week. At the world’s largest exhibition for the solar industry, the Meyer Burger Group successfully positioned itself, including the Roth & Rau Group’s product portfolio, under its umbrella brand amid positive customer feedback as the most comprehensive system and technology supplier in the solar industry. This position was further strengthened by Group member Pasan’s winning the InterSolar Award 2012 for its innovative cell tester, SpotLIGHT 1sec, as announced last week.
During the exhibition, Meyer Burger executives and sales managers had the opportunity to meet with leading customers and their executives, suppliers and industry influencers to discuss Meyer Burger’s innovative system offering in photovoltaic technology. Talks were also held with representatives of emerging markets such as Russia and others where Meyer Burger is committed to playing an active role in the country’s future energy development.
Despite the current difficulties in the photovoltaic market, feedback at InterSolar indicated the necessity for new technologies and systems. Customer interest in next generation PV technologies such as those in the portfolio of the Meyer Burger Group is present and Meyer Burger is in a position to be a reliable, long-term partner for its customers. Meyer Burger’s commitment to sustainable photovoltaic research and development is supported by its stable financial capacity based on a strong cash position, a syndicated bank credit and a bond. These three financial pillars ensure the Group’s ability to further develop its future-oriented technology and system portfolio.
