At the event held in Valencia last year and before the economic crisis was fully revealed, Manz has secured €20 million in direct new orders from the event. However, Manz noted that with its strategic alliance partner Roth & Rau, they had one of the largest stands at the exhibition and demonstrated three new thin-film and three new crystalline products at the event.
Manz also said that it had gained a new customer in the form of thin film start-up, Malibu GmbH which is focused on the BIPV market. Malibu is a joint venture of E.ON AG and Schüco International KG.
