“We warmly thank Bernhard Rack for the great work he and his team have achieved for Q-Cells not only in Malaysia,” said Nedim Cen, CEO of Q-Cells. “The output of the Malaysian solar cell production has outgrown the capacity of headquarters in Thalheim in 2010, thus positively contributing to Q-Cells’ competitive position on the world PV market. It will now be the task of Franz Vollmann, to continue and broaden this success. He will find an excellent support in the existing team.”
Prior to joining Q-Cells, Vollmann held managerial positions at companies such as Smartrac Technology and Molex Hong Kong.
