Sunfilm AG is one of the world's largest manufacturers of silicon-based thin-film modules with a combined capacity of 85 megawatts peak (MWp) at its two German production sites in Grossroehrsdorf and Bitterfeld-Wolfen. The company has an additional 60 MWp of capacity under construction as well. Thin-film is one of the fastest growing segments of the solar PV industry. Sunfilm's innovative technology for tandem junction thin-film silicon solar modules allows a larger part of the solar spectrum to be harvested as compared to amorphous silicon thin-film solar modules, leading to higher module efficiencies. Additionally, the amount of silicon needed to produce these modules is significantly less than for crystalline silicon modules.

Siemens Medical Solutions manufactures and markets medical equipment. Its products include magnetic resonance imaging systems, radiation therapy equipment and patient monitoring systems. The company also makes hearing aids. The company is headquartered in Erlangen, Germany.
