Scientists from China visit PVA TePla

A delegation of five professors headed by the President of Xi'an University
of Technology, Prof. Liu Ding, visited PVA TePla AG on February 13 to
exchange ideas. The crystal-growing and automation process specialists from
China discussed the latest research and development work, markets and
potential cooperations in China with PVA TePla.
Also present were Prof. Günter Bräuer of the Fraunhofer IST, Brunswick as
well as Professors Bruno Meyer and Peter Klar, representing the Laboratory
for Material Research (LaMa) at the University of Giessen. In conjunction
with the Fraunhofer IST and the University of Giessen, PVA TePla
established a Fraunhofer working group in Wettenberg at the end of last
year.
Prof. Bräuer explained how the Fraunhofer working group will also support
optimization of the PVA TePla systems in the context of services for
process developments. If the development results were ultimately to go onto
the Chinese market with the systems, it would obviously be necessary to
ensure protection of expertise there, stressed Günter Bräuer.
'The main areas of research and development at Xi'an University of
Technology are highly compatible with our process system engineering
activities. We expect a cooperative approach to deliver additional market
potential for PVA TePla,' stressed Dr. Arno Knebelkamp, CEO of PVA TePla
AG.
Peter Abel, who founded the PVA TePla Group in 1991, is delighted with the
prospect of an upturn in corporate activities in the Chinese province of
Shaanxi. He established a joint venture with Xi'an University of Technology
for the manufacture of crystal-growing systems for the solar industry back
in 2005. However, he believes that the global market for process systems of
this kind is depressed at the moment. 'That's why it makes sense for us
also to be focusing on process systems for new high-tech materials and
functional layers for the fast-growing Chinese market right now. By doing
this, we can gradually tap into applications in microelectronics, the
aviation industry and batteries,' said Abel.
The talks resulted in sound starting points for cooperations involving
vacuum process furnaces for crystal-growing and high-voltage technology,
while ion sources for aerospace may also be of interest in this link-up.
