CHANGZHOU, China, July 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trina Solar
Limited (NYSE: TSL) ("Trina
Solar" or the "Company"), a global leader in photovoltaic
("PV") modules, solutions, and services, today announced that it
has been selected to the Top 100 Global Challengers List (the
"List") by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) at the Tianjin Summer
Davos Forum on June 27, 2016. This
marks the second consecutive time that Trina Solar has been included on the List since
2014, and the Company is the only solar manufacturer in
China to be selected twice in a
row.
Founded in 1963, BCG is a leading global management consulting
firm and advisor on business strategy. The 2016 BCG report (the
"Report") marks the ten-year anniversary of the first publication
of BCG's list of global challengers, and the theme of the Report is
"Global Leaders, Challengers and Champions: The Engines of Emerging
Markets." The Report indicates that top companies from emerging
markets grew three times faster than their counterparts in mature
markets from 2009 through 2014, and that these companies are still
developing world-class capabilities and know how to win in volatile
and uncertain times. Trina Solar's
selection to BCG's Top 100 Global Challengers List is a
further recognition of the Company's strong performance and
sustained rapid growth after having been
selected to BCG's China
Top 50 Global Challengers List in 2012. Other Chinese companies included in the
report were Alibaba, Aviation Industry Corporation of China,
Tencent, and 24 other Chinese
companies.
Mr. Jifan Gao, Chairman and CEO
of Trina Solar, and President of the
China Photovoltaic Industry Association, said, "We are proud to
have been selected as a top 100 global challenger for the second
consecutive time. We believe that this reflects recognition of the
strength of our business as a leading global solar manufacturer and
first-class downstream project developer and operator. Over the
years, we have been maintaining an industry-leading level of
sustainable growth by propelling technological innovations and
expanding in overseas markets, all of which has helped to enhance
our global influence and competitiveness. We will continue our
efforts to relentlessly drive the advancement of the solar industry
and forge new frontiers in promoting a clean and low-carbon
world."
In a press release published on June 27,
2016, Dinesh Khanna, a
coauthor and leader of BCG's Global Advantage practice, commented,
"The global challengers are the leading edge of a much larger group
of companies from emerging markets that, despite economic
uncertainty, are powering ahead with confidence and
ambition."[1]
