“We have defined five strategic business segments. The existing CIS systems integration and solar power plants division and the new wholesale and photovoltaic mounting systems units from the acquisition of SolarMarkt are driving our growth in distribution. The fifth segment, expertise licensing and cooperation with Manz Automation, will also multiply our successful CIS photovoltaic technology. Based on these five pillars, we want to continue to grow faster than the market in the years to come and boost sales to over €500 million in 2014.”

Through the SolarMarkt acquisition, Würth Solar is entering the wholesale PV market and will now also be a manufacturer, product developer, and dealer of mounting systems through SolarMarkt’s Creotecc subsidiary.

“By acquiring the very successful SolarMarkt, we have succeeded in diversifying Würth in terms of distribution and in the future will also cover the two strategic distribution fields of wholesale and mounting systems in photovoltaics,” said Groß.
