Research & Development at VARTA focuses on new materials and technologies for products and systems, as well as production engineering and quality assurance processes.
In-house chemical laboratories, prototype construction and safety laboratories support the international VARTA development team in its daily work. The process development team implements newly developed products and technologies in highly automated large-scale production. The electronics and software of the battery packs are also developed in-house in order to react as quickly as possible to changing market requirements.
At the headquarters in Ellwangen (Germany), in the Innovation Tower, VARTA's central research and development department, more than 200 employees work on new products and the optimisation of existing energy solutions. The pillars of VARTA's success are that the innovative developments are manufactured with the help of the company's own machine and tool construction - this always ensures VARTA's competitive advantages.
