3S Industries throws open doors of new Service & Technology Center

Housed in a highly modern, 1,500m2 building, 3S Industries AG’s new Service & Technology Center in Freiburg was opened today amid much celebration. The centre will offer services such as technical support, pilot assembly and certification of modules, as well as training seminars tailored individually to the needs of customers, as well as the services of a new semi-automatic module line.

The opening speech, which centered on the future of solar module production, was given by Dr. Patrick Hofer-Noser, CEO of 3S Industries AG. Also in attendance was Secretary of State Gundolf Fleischer MdL from the Ministry of Finance of Baden-Württemberg, in which region 3S’s new technology centre is located.

The company’s developments in stringing, laminating and testing will be boosted with the addition of the company’s second, complete, semi-automatic production line. 3S can now offer services such as technical support and training courses in the Freiburg centre. The company will also offer materials and production testing services, such as testing new cells, soldering bands, EVA foils, backing foils, glass plates and liquids.
