Heraeus to build metallization paste factory in Singapore

Heraeus' Singapore site will manufacture metallization paste and also house its R&D, sales and technical service divisions.

The Heraeus Photovoltaic Business Unit has started building work on a new factory in Singapore to manufacture silver metallization paste for crystalline solar cells. The site, which will also house some the company’s R&D, sales and technical service divisions, is scheduled to begin production in the second half of 2011.

“This new factory will add significant capacity to our growing global PV paste business, and supplements our existing technical support capabilities in order to meet the needs of our customers in this fast-moving industry,” said Andy London, vice president of Heraeus Materials.

“Management of this facility will be the responsibility of Pete Horan, currently Operations Manager of the West Conshohocken factory. Pete will move to Singapore midyear as construction is completed. We already began hiring individuals who have commenced training in the United States,” London added.

The Singapore facility will further expand Heraeus global reach – it already has plants in the U.S. Germany and China – and add to its burgeoning workforce.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
