Heraeus Photovoltaics and Table Tennis superstar Timo Boll reveal secret for championship-level success: teamwork


Table tennis legend will meet fans and share success principles at SNEC 2018 in Shanghai.

SHANGHAI, China -May 23 2018- Heraeus Photovoltaics, which has helped customers achieve PERC efficiency world records five times in the past 18 months, announced today that table tennis star Timo Boll will meet fans at the Heraeus Booth (W3-510) at the 2018 SNEC International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Exhibition & Conference at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. Boll will meet fans on May 29 for photos, autographs and a chance to play a few volleys with this legendary world champion.

The partnership between Heraeus Photovoltaics and Timo Boll, ranked number one in 2018 for the fourth time in his career, centers around a shared commitment for peak performance and world records. For Heraeus, the most recent customer achievement occurred in China, where the company’s silver paste enabled a solar cell company to reach 23.95% photovoltaic conversion efficiency, establishing a new monocrystalline PERC cell conversion efficiency world record. The records were verified by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Photovoltaic and Wind Power System Quality Test Center.

Andreas Liebheit, President of Heraeus Photovoltaics, noted that after company executives met with the legendary table tennis superstar, it became clear they shared the same principles of success: strategy, speed and, above all, teamwork. “The Timo Boll story is a perfect fit with Heraeus. His career reflects what we do every day to ensure our metallization pastes help our customers win and attain world-record performance: be lightning- fast, have a sharp strategy for a competitive, fast-changing marketplace, and build a strong sense of teamwork with customers.”
