NexWafe Expands Board to Broaden World Supply of Eco-friendly Silicon Wafer Technologies
Business veteran Thomas Koerner will assist corporation break into Asian photovoltaic market place
NexWafe GmbH today declared Thomas Koerner has joined the company’s board of administrators. With just about two many years of knowledge in the worldwide photo voltaic business, Koerner brings a must have know-how to NexWafe in the spots of world wide marketing and business progress, specifically in the Asian market.
NexWafe just lately concluded a €10 million spherical of funding supposed to support go the corporation into pilot creation and further than. The groundbreaking company employs a proprietary environmentally friendly silicon producing course of action that is entirely appropriate with regular photo voltaic mobile production to develop ultra-slim, large-performance, monocrystalline silicon wafers. With local weather change a top priority among entire world leaders and carbon taxes on the horizon, NexWafe’s technologies is developed to decrease carbon dioxide emissions made through the manufacture of silicon wafers whilst concurrently reducing value and raising performance.
“Thomas provides additional depth and diversity to our leadership team at NexWafe,” commented Davor Sujita, CEO. “His knowledge in establishing enterprise interactions in China and somewhere else in Asia will be priceless to our efforts in those vital markets.
