A new equipment investment cycle for PV manufacturers is boosting quarterly sales for Roth & Rau. New order intake in the first quarter increased 22.5% to €55.8 million, compared to €45.5 million in the previous quarter. Due to long lead times in its project business, the first-quarter revenue continued to be affected by the poor order situation in the second and third quarters of 2009, resulting in revenue declining to €35.32 million.

However, Roth & Rau said that its order backlog continued to grow, reaching €225.3 million at the end of the quarter. The company said that it had also received letters of intent for orders worth €497.25 million.
