SolarWorld AG: Best German Stock of the Decade
Jan 8, 2010 – Since the IPO of SolarWorld AG 10 years ago the stock of SolarWorld AG has developed better than any other German stock during that time. This is shown by an analysis performed by the German economy newspaper Handelsblatt (edition of 8 January 2010). “We are delighted with this success which confirms that we came up with the right idea at the right time and in the right place”, says Dipl.-Ing. Frank H. Asbeck, Chairman and CEO of SolarWorld AG.
At the time of its IPO in 1999 SolarWorld AG was among the first solar stocks worldwide. Investors were quick to recognize the potential of solar power technology at an early point in time. In the last 10 years SolarWorld AG has developed from a solar trading house into one of the world’s largest manufacturers of high-quality crystalline solar power technology. In the process the quality provider relies on high-tech production sites in its main target markets. Uniform standards are shared by the international sites. The group-wide, sustainable and fully integrated production concept guarantees the consistently high quality of all products.
“With our products we will make solar power less expensive than conventional power from limited energy sources in the next few years”, explains Frank H. Asbeck. “Solar energy will become the essential worldwide pillar of an energy supply that protects the climate and uses resources sparingly.”
