FREMONT, CA -- Flextronics will host the kickoff meeting of a proposed  professional association aimed at engineers and management in the photovoltaic cell and module manufacturing industry. The formation meeting will be held June 10, from 5:30 to 7 pm at Flextronics' Milpitas, CA, site.

The concept is the brainchild of Matthew Holzmann, president of Christopher Associates, a distributor of equipment for the fabrication, assembly and PV markets.

"The photovoltaic industry is moving fast," Holzmann said. "There are few professional resources out there for the engineering and manufacturing community on an individual basis. We have trade shows and some standards work being done, but engineering education, technology benchmarking and other professional issues and opportunities must be addressed as well. Hopefully, we can begin a dialogue to meet this need.”

The meeting is open, and will be held at: Flextronics Building #1, Milpitas Conference Room, 637 Gibraltar Court, Milpitas, CA. The contact is Dennis Willie.
