M+W Zander receives order from Conergy to the building of a fully integrated
The Stuttgart M+W Zander FE GmbH was assigned by the Conergy group
planning and building of a fully integrated manufacturing plant for
Photovoltaikzellen and modules in Frankfurt (or). The volume of the
order for general purchaser lies in the upper, two digit
million-euro-range and contains also an attaching machinery to the
supply installations. M+W Zander received the order above all, because
the enterprise could submit an innovative and conclusive concept for
the change of the existing building as well as a term Inge rake
schedule for the completion. Already in the second yearly half of 2007
the first Conergy Solarmodule is to come in Frankfurt (or) off the
line. 2008 are to then be the production capacity about 300 megawatts
for solar wafer, 275 megawatts for cells and 250 megawatts for
modules.* The new Conergy manufacturing plant is established in the former
chip factory in Frankfurt (or). With the world-wide singular,
integrated wafer -, cell and module manufacturing it will be the most
modern manufacturing plant for solar modules at all. Thus shortens a
new arrangement of the production lines in only one resounds the
routes of transportation. At the same time the high degree of
automation of the production lines provides for a clearly higher
production output. "in view of the high dynamics of the market it is
particularly important for the solar industry to be able to serve with
most modern manufacturing plants the demand of the market as soon as
possible. We demonstrate with the multiplicity of our specific ' turn
keys ' projects for the Photovoltaikindustrie that we
einhalten koennen reliably, say both the ' time factor ' and the
budget "Robert Gattereder, managing director of M+W Zander FE.Gattereder further: "the future fully integrated Conergy factory makes
besides clearly that the scaling of the factory size as well as a new,
intelligent logistics in the manufacturing offer considerable saving
possibilities." * Over Conergy * Conergy (_ www.conergy.com _) is
considered to the bio energy as the turnover-strongest solar
enterprise of Europe and ranks even in further fast growing fields of
the renewable energies, as for example, among the internationally
leading offerers. The enterprise pursues a customer-focused global
growth strategy, which aims at to offer to each energy consumer
world-wide the best suitable technology in the markets attractive for
renewable energies. The Conergy group is in the meantime represented
and busily at present on five continents with own addresses
approximately 1,400 coworkers. * Over M+W Zander * M+W Zander (_ wwwmw-zander.com _) ranks among the market leaders when planning and
building of ready for occupancy erstellter Photovoltaik manufacturing
plants. The customers come predominantly from Europe and Asia.
Altogether the M+W Zander group converted about 1.5 billion euro in
the past year with world-wide approximately 7000 coworkers.
