Greentech Lead Asia: China Sunergy, a solar cell and
module manufacturer, and China Electric Equipment Group (CEEG) have signed a
three-year strategic collaboration agreement with DuPont China Holdings.
This strategic collaboration among the parties includes
photovoltaic, power transformer, as well as insulation and aviation composite
materials. The alliance will help improve product quality, enhance the
collaboration and development of new products, new applications and new
markets.
“This Letter of Intent will expand the strategic
relationship between DuPont, CEEG and China Sunergy with long-term benefit not
only to the parties, but also to the local industry and community. DuPont China
is committed to leverage its strong technological capabilities across the
company and work with our partners to support their rapid growth,” said
Tony Su, president, DuPont Greater China.
The strategic collaboration enables China Sunergy to
