In conjunction with China's Hefei High-tech Industrial Development Area, 3M has announced plans to build a manufacturing site for photovoltaic solar materials and renewable energy products in Hefei High-tech Park.
The new plant, 3M Materials Technologies (Hefei) Co., will produce a variety of products at the new facility, including 3M Scotchshield Film, a solar backside barrier film used in crystalline silicon solar photovoltaic modules. Ground breaking is set for two-phased construction in the second quarter of this year.
