Order Focus: Amtech’s Tempress adds $9 million to 2010 sales

Amtech Systems’s Tempress subsidiary has added to its sales balance for 2010 deliveries with multiple new orders from new and existing Asia-based customers worth around US$9 million. The orders are for Tempress’s diffusion processing systems from several new and existing customers in Asia and will be shipped by the end of the third quarter 2010.

“These latest orders represent both new customers and significant follow-on orders from recent new customers for our market-leading solar diffusion systems,” said J.S. Whang, president and CEO of Amtech. “They demonstrate the growing solar manufacturing market in Asia and the significant presence that Tempress has developed in the region in a very short period of time through superior diffusion technology. We continue to see excellent quotation activity and remain confident in our ability to execute our solar growth strategy.”
