Solar technology company Amtech appoints Bert Goudena to board of directors

5 January 2010

Amtech Systems, a global supplier of production and automation systems and related supplies for the manufacture of solar cells, has appointed Bert J G Goudena to its board of directors. Goudena’s appointment fills the vacancy left by the resignation of Brian Hoekstra, who recently became the CEO of a publicly traded company.

Since 1987, Goudena has been the operations manager of the research labs at the Delft Institute of Microsystems and Nanoelectronics (DIMES) of the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands. In 2008, Goudena co-founded ISZGRO Diodes, a company that was formed to deliver logistics services to technology companies and to produce extreme ultraviolet (EUV) detectors.

JS Whang, chairman and CEO of Amtech, said, ‘Goudena’s extensive technology experience will be a valuable asset to our board as we continue to expand and enhance our solar product offerings and become increasingly technology-focused. In addition to his technology expertise, Bert brings to the board his government and private sector relationships that will assist us in our R&D efforts, which support our strategy of becoming a technology turnkey provider to the crystalline solar market.’

Amtech Systems manufactures capital equipment, including silicon wafer handling automation, thermal processing equipment and related consumables used in fabricating solar cells and semiconductor devices.
