About

“Frank was a key success factor for our meanwhile legendary IPO in 2005. He built up the marketing-strategy in Suntech in 2003 and 2004 and boosted our sales to Europe from basically nowhere to the #1 using his deep experience, high credibility and technical know-how for solar modules and system.” Dr Zhengrong Shi, Founder and CEO of Suntech Power, 2006 “Frank´s Business Plan for a 100m EUR greenfield investment of a Silicon Thin-Film manufacturing facility (using non-streamlined equipment), which was presented to Deutsche Bank London has been rated among the top 5% in quality.” Franco Cavallini, Director Principal Finance for Global Markets Commodities in Deutsche Bank London, 2008 “In his early years, Mr Zimmermann has led our youth organization in my home-town for more than 5 years. He is very diligent, active, full of ideas and ambitious. He decided to use his unique talents rather in the industry than in politics.” Dr Wolfgang Schäuble, President of German Federal Parliament (Deutscher Bundestag) Chief of German Chancellary, then Federal Minister of the Interior, later Federal Minister for Finance. Berlin - Gengenbach 1998 “Being close friend to Frank since more than 4 decades – in a nutshell: He is hard-working, honest and reliable – in business and private.” Jürgen Moser, Head of Branch, Werum IT Solutions Hausach, 2015
