Taking a leading position

As one of the industry's prime operators, Schmid Silicon Technology (SST) GmbH enjoys an enviable reputation and business that is built upon exceeding expectations and unrivalled knowledge. We put the questions to Dr. Burkhard Wehefritz, Director of the company's Sales Development Department.

PES: Welcome to PES magazine. Can you explain a little about your company and how you serve the solar/PV industry?
