Indium Corporation Technology Expert Presents at Minor Metals Conference

February 28, 2012

Indium Corporation's European Sales Manager for Metals, Compounds, and Solar Products Malcolm Harrower delivered a presentation to guests at Metal Bulletin's Minor Metals Conference on February 14 and 15 in Brussels, Belgium.

The presentation, Indium Sources and Applications, discussed the increased demand for indium for use in items such as flat panel displays, PV solar energy, solders, thermal interface materials, batteries, and compound semiconductors and LEDs. Malcolm also pointed out that, though there will be pricing and supply volatility, there will be a sufficient amount of indium to meet the increased demand due to the fact that current proven reserves of indium covers over 75 years of demand. In addition, mining and exploration will continue to reveal new sources. Indium Corporation's Director of Metals & Chemicals, Claire Mikolajczak, coauthored this paper.

In addition, he works with Solar Sales Channel Partners in Europe to cultivate new customers and explore opportunities for the growth an expansion of Indium Corporation's product lines.
