Engineering Excellence in Lithium Battery Shipping Since 2010
Over 15 years of expertise designing, manufacturing, and safely shipping custom lithium batteries worldwide.
Our story
Founded in 2010, we are a team of battery engineers and hazmat logistics specialists with over 15 years of experience engineering and shipping custom lithium batteries to customers all over the world. What began as a passion for advanced energy storage has grown into a trusted global partner for safe, compliant lithium battery transportation.
From the earliest days of commercial lithium-ion cells, we recognized that general freight forwarders treated lithium and Class 9 dangerous goods as exceptions. We built a company where these shipments are the standard: engineered, classified, packaged and documented by people who understand the technology behind every cell.
