After securing €11M funding last summer, WATTALPS, a leader in high-performance battery solutions, recently welcomed one of their banks and investors, Crédit Agricole Sud Rhône Alpes, to their headquarters.
During the visit, the Credit Agricole Sud Rhone-Alpes team had the opportunity to get a glimpse of WATTALPS’ innovative technology. Backed by several patents, the immersion cooling technology developed by WATTALPS enables their battery packs to remain at a controlled temperature, regardless of the power and energy used, even in harsh environmental conditions.
WATTALPS’s commitment to sustainability, especially in recycling end-of-life batteries for less demanding applications, was also met with enthusiasm.
«The innovative approach of giving a second life to batteries highlights WATTALPS’ dedication to reducing environmental impact while providing practical and sustainable energy solutions », said Anne-Caroline PACE-TUFFERY, Crédit Agricole Sud Rhône Alpes’ Deputy Managing Director.
As WATTALPS continues to lead the field in battery innovation, the collaboration with Crédit Agricole Sud Rhône Alpes is expected to help the company meet its ambitious growth objectives and continue delivering value to customers.
« It has been an honor to welcome Crédit Agricole Sud Rhône Alpes’ representatives to our headquarters and production site. Our partnership with Crédit Agricole Sud Rhône Alpes is a key asset for helping us accelerate our growth and providing our customers with cutting-edge high-performance battery solutions for their applications », said WATTALPS’ Managing Director, Manuel RONCO.
“Crédit Agricole Sud Rhône Alpes has been a partner of WATTALPS since its creation. We have been impressed by WATTALPS’ innovative technology and high level of expertise. We are very pleased to see WATTALPS’ steady growth over the years, which signals a promising future”, added Anne-Caroline PACE-TUFFERY.
