BMZ group expands presence at Battery Experts Forum

BMZ Group, the Germany based high-tech battery systems producer, has announce an extensive presence at this year’s Battery Experts Forum, taking place November 7th – 9th, 2023 in Darmstadt, Germany. In addition to 7 booths at the event, Founder Sven Bauer will act as one of the six keynote speakers.

As an overview of the BMZ Group participation at the event, the business will present the future of battery technology for diverse industries and applications at booth F04.

At the directly adjacent booth F03, the BMZ E-Bike Store will demonstrate technology in motion directly at the end-use application example.

The two BMZ booths will be flanked by the presences of BMZ subsidiaries Schütz Kunststofftechnik (booth F02) and mechanical engineering company APA (booth F05). While Schütz is known for manufacturing innovative and technically sophisticated plastic parts, such as cell holders for battery production, APA manufactures production machines according to customer requirements. The portfolio includes, for example, automatic screwdriving machines, automatic punching machines or laser welding machines and testing devices that are used in battery production, among other applications.

At the nearby booth F07, BMZ subsidiary VISATRONIC will be demonstrating the state of the art with regard to the production of electronic flat modules, such as battery management systems. Furthermore, at booth D18, Batteryuniversity will provide information on test procedures for battery development. Besides the Corporation presents TerraE, its own brand of battery cells at booth F06.

Sven Bauer, CEO and Founder of BMZ Group is very pleased to kick off the second day of the conference on November 8th, 2023 from 09:05 am with his keynote on the topic of “World Market” lasting just under an hour.

The entire BMZ Group is massively expanding its presence at Europe’s largest and most diverse networking platform for the global battery community, primarily due to the networking options of the conference exhibition with networking party, and is looking forward to the always intense and enriching professional discourse of the 18th edition of this highly established industry event.

Attendance at the forum comes hot on the heals of the BMZ acquisition of Austrian bicycle manufacturer Nox Cycles, marking the businesses moving into eBikes where previously the focus had been supplying cycle manufacturers with motor and battery solutions.

2023 has seen the German business announce a raft of senior appointments, with Volker Ritzert becoming its new CEO, with effect from 1st August 2023, Andreas Krist becoming the company’s new Chief Purchasing Officer (CPO) and Manager Mergers & Acquisitions Head, whilst Oliver Makko joined as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), brings 15 years of leadership experience in finance at large companies such as NORMA Group, Compass Group and TRW, with him, in addition to degrees in aerospace engineering and business administration.
