When touring the production facility together with company founder and executive manager Robert Kanduth, the former minister of the environment not only showed a keen interest in the production and function of solar collectors but during the subsequent discussion also confirmed the importance of further developing renewable energies in Austria. According to Pröll, who believes this technology will offer the highest potential for the future, solar heat is a key factor in the area of renewable energies. "A 34 % share of renewable energy by the year 2020 is an important target for Austria, and I will personally support this aim," said Josef Pröll.
