Our CIG (copper – indium – gallium) sputtering target customers demand many things from us as a vendor. Of course they do! The difference between merely operating and excelling can produce results for a fraction of the basic cost and yield multiples of the basic annual production. That’s the difference between “hanging on” and making an excellent profit. And, we’re here to help our customers make an excellent profit.
