Outlook

Due to the global increase in investment activity for the further expansion of production capacities in photovoltaics, SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES expects to receive extensive new orders in the Solar segment in the coming months.

In addition, the Life Science segment is expected to conclude contracts for the sale of systems in the field of medical technology and for decorative coatings. The Semiconductor segment is benefiting from the expansion of production capacities for magnetic, semiconductor-based sensors, which is why successful contracts are expected to be concluded in this segment by the end of the year.
