Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (Yingli), a leading solar energy company and one of the world's largest vertically integrated photovoltaic manufacturers, today announced the establishment of its regional headquarters in Singapore. In order to strengthen its business practices in Southeast Asia, Yingli has set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in Singapore to drive sales and further business development for the company.

"We are pleased to announce the opening of our regional headquarters in Singapore," commented Mr. Liansheng Miao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yingli Green Energy. "Singapore is a talent hub for clean technology and a favorable environment to expand the adoption of solar energy. Given our track record of global successes and the strong support from the Singapore Economic Development Board, we expect to penetrate deeper into this region with our new location. In addition, we plan on building a research and development center in Singapore, which will focus on the development of PV products that are best suitable for island climates."
