    26. June 2019

    VARTA is responding to ongoing business growth and expanding its management team. Bengt Stahlschmidt has been recruited for the newly created position of General Manager Energy Storage Systems in the division Power & Energy. The 56-year-old is responsible for the development, production and sales of private home storage systems and commercial large-scale storage systems, and he reports directly to Gordon Clements, the General Manager for the division Power & Energy. This new position creates a direct link between development and sales for the first time to enable the company to react quickly and more efficiently to changes in the market. The aim is to further strengthen the market position in the home storage market and to press ahead with internationalisation.

We are looking forward to working with him and are confident that we will be able to further expand our sales network with him, which will allow us to continue on our successful course and lead VARTA Storage to the next stage in its development.”
