Dutch solar module manufacturer Scheuten Solar expands German production

2 March 2010

Global photovoltaic (PV) manufacturer Scheuten Solar has expanded its production line in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, with an additional 60MW.

The company said the extension is a reaction on the increasing demand for its PV modules and that the expansion doubles its total production volume in 2010 compared to 2009.

With the purchase of a multi-level laminator and new generation stringers, Scheuten has extended its capacity to 120MW and expects to have a total production capacity of approximately 200MW by the second half of 2010.

‘With this state-of-the-art expansion we were able to maximise the efficiency of the new line and we doubled our production volume in 2010 compared to 2009. Now we are able to secure a constant flow of our high quality and very reliable PV modules to our customers in Europe,’ said Bart Kempen, COO of Scheuten Solar.

Established in 2000 with its head office in Venlo, The Netherlands, Scheuten designs and manufactures PV solar modules, achieving a turnover of €467m in 2008.
