Eight major cell makers to host PV Fab Managers’ Forum

This year’s PV Fab Managers’ Forum, taking place in Dresden, Germany on March 8th and 9th, looks set to be an event to remember. SEMI’S PV Group, organizers of the Forum, have appointed as hosts eight fab managers from solar cell manufacturing companies. The representatives will be shouldered with the task of working actively with the PV Group to improve the customer-supplier relation in the photovoltaic industry.

The group will present a supplier assessment at the event, which will culminate in a discussion between customers and suppliers in an attempt to improve the current situation. Topics under discussion include supply-chain optimization and supplier relations, as well as a focus on improved process control and standardization.

Taking part in the Forum are fab managers from Deutsche Cell, Ersol, Q-Cells, Scheuten, SCHOTT Solar, Solarwatt, Solland, Sovello, and Sunways.

"The PV Fab Managers’ Forum intensifies the dialogue between all stake holders of the whole PV supply chain. SCHOTT Solar supports this Forum, in order to be prepared for the challenges the future markets will bring to our production," stated Baumbach Norbert, Director Technical Services & Expansion Projects at SCHOTT Solar.
