MCP Group, a specialty chemicals producer of thin-film metals such as indium, gallium, selenium, and tellurium, is combining manufacturing operations into Atlumin Energy to streamline operations and meet growing demand, especially from the thin-film PV industry. Copy-exact processes at its U.K. operations in Wellingborough are to be expanded to its Sunnyvale, CA, facilities.

“The complementary synergies will substantially increase our business scale and expand our customer base,” commented Laurent Raskin, CEO of MCP Group “This is another step in our strategy to compress the material supply chain and offer increased system level efficiency to our customers, thereby helping them to be more competitive.”
