SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES AG (SINGULUS) received an order contract worth approximately €19 million from a European solar cell manufacturer for production systems to manufacture a new generation of thin-film solar cells. SINGULUS said that it had developed the new processing system for thin-film solar technology in close cooperation with that customer during 2009 and has now been able to secure the order to build these systems.

SINGULUS is consequently extending its product range in the area of photovoltaic systems and will now offer this technology in the market as well. The pioneer of optical disc manufacturing equipment is trying to establish itself as a key supplier of new systems for important process stages in the growing solar market.
