After experiencing fluctuating demand in recent years, the polysilicon market is showing signs of renewed growth – illustrated by the growing number of new projects and capacity expansions. Thyrobox is a compact power solution for the polycrystalline silicon deposition process and, depending on the type of reactor, has a footprint up to 70% smaller than its rivals in the market.
“About four years ago, we started our cooperation with AEG PS, one of the top global power system technology suppliers. It is our strategy to work only with manufacturers that offer premium quality products. We are happy to reinforce our good relationship with AEG PS,” said Shu Hua, the executive director and president of GCL-Poly.
