GT Solar International Inc. brought in a whopping $460.4 million order for its advanced sapphire crystallization furnaces. The order came from a new, but unnamed, market entrant.
The Merrimack, N.H.-based company said in a news release today that the order is the company’s largest single order to date.
GT Solar’s previous largest order for polysilicon production equipment and technology came in last month from a South Korean customer with a $228 million contract.
The company plans to transition its name to GT Advanced Technologies by August, it reported in a news release today, to reflect its offerings since acquiring Crystal Systems in July 2010.
