Heritage Global Partners announced it has been retained by MEMC Electronic Materials SpA, a SunEdison Semiconductor company, to secure an enterprise buyer for the entirety of its proven polysilicon production processes in Merano, Italy. SunEdison Semiconductor develops, manufactures, and sells silicon wafers to the semiconductor industry.

“Polysilicon is rapidly growing again and we are seeing sharp increases in overall demand as the semiconductor industry starts its rebound and the volume of PV installations begins to rise globally. Someone in the PV world is eventually going to emerge as a serious player and the availability of a turnkey, high quality production facility such as SunEdison’s can only be an advantage to forward thinkers in this industry,” stated David Barkoff, director of sales at Heritage Global Partners.

Heritage Global Partners is now accepting offers for SunEdison’s facility. For more detailed information, interested buyers are invited to visit Heritage Global Partners at the Intersolar Europe Conference in Munich, Germany June 4-6 at the Messe München.
