[weijing3333]

Major PV metallisation paste producer Heraeus has said its new manufacturing plant in Taiwan would be operational at the beginning of November 2015.

The company is adding front-side metallisation paste production in Taiwan to support existing back-side paste production, which started in 2012.

Andreas Liebheit, president of Heraeus Photovoltaics said: "In order for us to offer customisation and shorten lead times for customers, it is vital to have a strong operational presence where our customers are, and Taiwan has grown to become an important market for us.”

Taiwan is home to the largest merchant solar cell producers such as Motech, Gintech and NSP.
