Progress with Responsibility
technological. collaborative. sustainable.
Since our founding in 2011, we have pursued a clear vision: technology in harmony with people and the environment. Energy storage systems are a key enabler of the energy transition — far beyond mobility alone. They make large-scale renewable energy use possible and form the foundation of sustainable energy systems. The automotive industry plays a major role in driving this transformation by industrializing and scaling battery technologies. At the same time, we work with companies across a wide range of industries that develop, manufacture, or integrate battery systems.
We develop and operate intelligent testing laboratories, build high-quality test equipment, and support our customers from cell testing through to the series development of complex battery systems. As one of Europe’s leading independent battery testing laboratories, we see ourselves not only as a testing service provider, but as a technical partner that shares expertise and actively supports development processes.
Our way of working is shaped by personal responsibility, short decision-making paths, and interdisciplinary collaboration. As an agile organization, we create solutions that not only deliver technically, but also help our customers move faster and more sustainably.
Sustainability as part of our identity
Our work creates impact on multiple levels. Through our business model, we contribute to the transition toward renewable energy systems by supporting companies in the development of high-performance battery technologies.
At the same time, we take responsibility for the systems and structures we create ourselves. We design and operate our laboratories, products, and services with a strong focus on efficient resource use, reduced energy consumption, and long-term technical viability.
For us, sustainability is not only about results, but also about the people behind them. Lasting progress happens where people can contribute their strengths, take ownership, and work together on meaningful solutions. This mindset shapes both our internal culture and the way we collaborate with customers and partners.
Our commitment to sustainable technology
We do not see sustainability as an additional measure, but as a fundamental principle of how we work. It shapes the decisions we make in development, the way we operate our infrastructure, and how we collaborate — within our teams as well as with customers and partners. Three key areas form the foundation of our approach:
-
Continuously reducing energy consumption
We continuously work to optimize energy flows and reduce consumption across our laboratories, processes, and technologies. Through intelligent control systems, modern infrastructure, and conscious operational practices, we improve efficiency without compromising quality or safety. This allows us to achieve measurable energy savings with long-term impact.
-
Developing, producing, and operating with environmental responsibility
For us, sustainability starts long before a system goes into operation. It begins in the development of new technologies. We focus on resource-efficient materials, durable components, and efficient production processes. In day-to-day operations, we follow a consistent circular-thinking approach to reduce waste, conserve resources, and support environmentally responsible value creation.
-
Reducing greenhouse gar emissions early and avoiding them systematically
We analyze emissions across the entire process chain — from planning and construction to the operation of our testing and cooling systems. Wherever possible, we replace climate-damaging substances with natural alternatives and prevent emissions at their source.
Our goal is clear: to continuously reduce our carbon footprint and help establish sustainable standards for the entire industry.

How technology shapes our environmental footprint
Technical decisions have a major impact on how sustainable energy systems are in operation. Here, we provide insights into selected technologies, measures, and developments that help us continuously improve our environmental performance.
Future Projects
We continue to invest in projects that make our energy management more sustainable and resilient. These initiatives include the modernization of our facility at Lise-Meitner-Allee 19 to further reduce energy consumption, the expansion of innovative energy storage technologies at our Bochum-Riemke site to support grid stability, and the gradual integration of renewable power generation.
In addition, we are planning the implementation of a new building management system that will enable us to monitor, analyze, and optimize energy flows across our facilities with even greater precision. By combining efficient infrastructure, intelligent control systems, and renewable energy sources, we are continuously advancing toward a more sustainable laboratory operation.
