Meyer Burger successfully signs contract for new lamination lines with ZNShine Solar in China

Meyer Burger has won an order to supply ZNShine Solar, a member of the ZNShine Group in China, with new lamination lines for their Chinese production facilities.

3S Modultec, the technology specialist for innovative lamination systems for photovoltaics and a member of the Meyer Burger Group (SIX Swiss Exchange: MBTN), will supply ZNShine Solar with new lamination lines to replace existing laminators currently in use in their Chinese production facilities. The lamination lines will be produced in Lyss, Switzerland with delivery scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2011. ZNShine Solar is replacing its current lines as part of its expansion plan to increase its production capacity over the next two years.

Since its founding in 2006, ZNShine Solar has grown to become a global leader in the production of integrated silicon ingot, wafer and solar photovoltaic modules.

William Wang, ZNShine Solar CEO stated that “this contract is the beginning of a new long term partnership between the Meyer Burger Group and ZNShine Solar. As we expand our capacity, the Meyer Burger Group will play an important role as one of our key technology partners and we look forward to the working closely with them to increase our production capacity of high quality solar products.”
