Erlangen, 18 May 2009 Solar Millennium AG is strengthening its Group management due to increasing order volume in the business field of Power Plant Construction. On 15 May 2009 Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Knothe, together with Dr. Daniel Fuchs, took over the management of MAN Solar Millennium GmbH, a joint venture with MAN Ferrostaal. The CEO of Solar Millen-nium AG, Christian Beltle, had simultaneously co-managed the newly established MAN Solar Millennium during the start-up phase and now passes on his direct responsibility for the Power Plant Construction subsidiary to Dr. Knothe.

At the same time, Dr. Knothe will become a member in the extended Management Board of Solar Millennium AG. He holds a PhD in engineering and has many years of experience as managing director and board member in plant construction companies, such as Uhde GmbH, Lurgi GmbH and MAN Ferrostaal AG among others.

Christian Beltle: "We are pleased that we have been able to attract such a renowned expert in the field of international plant construction as Wolfgang Knothe, who will further promote the expansion of the business. Whilst the construction is already underway for our third Spanish parabolic trough power plant Andasol 3, we are planning to commission MAN Solar Millennium with the realisation of additional solar-thermal power plants in Spain. The busi-ness field of Power Plant Construction contributes a disproportionately high share to Solar Millennium’s strongly growing sales volume."
