In a press release, Tom Gutierrez, president and chief executive officer of GT Solar, commented on the news:
"We are pleased to announce this new order for our polysilicon production equipment to one of Asia’s leading producers. The polysilicon market is ultimately a commodity market that will eventually be dominated by large, low-cost players. As polysilicon prices continue to decline, our polysilicon reactors, production services and process know-how play a significant role in helping our customers achieve the scale and cost structures they need to remain competitive in a price-sensitive market."
