These orders are expected to ship within the first half of 2010. Tempress also received a separate order for its solar diffusion systems from one existing customer. The $10m in orders do not include the larger order from one customer, Amtech said.
J Whang, president and CEO of Amtech, said: “We are pleased to receive follow-on orders from our excellent solar customer base along with new customer orders that expand our reach into research and development activities with our market-leading solar diffusion systems.
“In regards to the additional larger order, we are honoring the confidentiality request of our customer and will be able to provide further details of the transaction in due time. In the meantime, we continue to see excellent quotation activity and remain confident in our ability to execute our solar growth strategy.”
Amtech Systems is a supplier of production and automation systems and related supplies for manufacture of solar cells, semiconductors and silicon wafers.
