DUBAI, August 2, 2010 - MBM Holdings has announced the formation of MBM Solar Holding Inc., which will build a 2500MT/a solar-grade polysilicon plant in the UAE. The planned polysilicon plant will have a total capacity of 2,500 tons per annum of high quality solar-grade polysilicon product and is expected to start production in early 2012. The project is being sponsored by MBM Holdings and will be developed jointly with ERC Private Limited Singapore which has an extensive experience in developing similar plants. This $400M project will be the first upstream plant of its kind to be constructed in the UAE and has synergies with Abu Dhabi's focus on downstream solar projects. Currently MBM is in negotiations with local authorities for land and power for this project. MBM's vision is to take UAE to the forefront of the solar energy industry in the MENA and subcontinent. The project will be the first of its kind in the Middle East to produce polysilicon as it utilizes ERC's existing designs that will shave off at least 18 months from a typical project lead-time.
