Are there new segments for AT&S to explore – such as medical or alternative energy sources?
Dr. Strasser: Medical belongs to the Industrial Segment and is a very essential part in it. As for alternative energy sources; we are pursuing a project with our cooperation partner Solland Solar in the field of photovoltaic. We are currently still in the testing and evaluation phase, but all looks very promising. Here we offer foils – in principle, similar to large PCBs – for the production of solar modules. Again, we are nearing market launch. What about investment in 2009? Dr. Strasser: We will reduce investment sums this year quite a lot. Of course, our machinery and equipment will always be kept up-to-date, but we will only invest into capacity expansion if customer demand requires this. As we already have infrastructure, buildings and facilities, we can quickly respond to market demand and add additional capacity. Mr. Lang: Regarding investments in general, I want to mention the third stage of our factory in Shanghai. We will ramp up a third manufacturing line for the HDI-product
