Andy Tuan was recently appointed General Manager of PV in Asia for Air Products, to enhance customer engagement and emphasise the company’s growing commitment to facilitate strong growth in the region. Here, PES speaks to Andy about the company and how its local operations dovetail into a global strategy.
PES: Welcome back to PES. When we last spoke, you were optimistic about the solar PV industry in 2010. How did the year shape-up for you, and do you still feel the same optimism for 2011?
Andy Tuan: 2010 was a good year. The industry saw 100 per cent plus growth and we are pleased to keep up with the growth. With the recession behind us, we anticipate 2011 will be as good if not better than 2010. A lot of capacity expansions that were announced in 2010 are now under way in 2011, so we expect positive year-on-year growth.
