GT Solar Signs Contract to Supply Company with polysilicon reactors

GT Solar Incorporated, a key global provider of a comprehensive range of equipment and turnkey manufacturing solutions to the solar power industry, announced today it has signed a follow-on contract valued at approximately $200 million to supply DC Chemical Co., Ltd. (DCC) of South Korea with polysilicon reactors. The equipment will be used by DCC to expand their facility in Gunsan, South Korea. This represents the largest single order received by GT Solar to date.

By helping to alleviate what has been a global shortage of polysilicon over the past several years, GT Solar has helped foster greater industry growth while diversifying its own product mix.”

We are delighted to be able to continue to meet the demands of an important repeat customer like DCC. We look forward to continuing this collaboration in the future.”
