On the way to becoming a true global market leader

Pooling strengths for global leadership

  • In 2023, the close partnership between the Sunlight Group and TRIATHLON, which has lasted over two decades, has entered a new phase. After the Sunlight Group initially acquired 51% of the shares in TRIATHLON at the beginning of February, the takeover of the remaining 49% followed in mid-July.
  • The 100% stake in TRIATHLON has the potential to realize even faster the synergies already targeted in the first step of the M&A process for the benefit of customers, shareholders, stakeholders and the Group's more than 3,200 employees.
  • This will enable the merged and significantly strengthened Sunlight Group to leverage its combined strengths and resources to take a pioneering role in the industry and make the most of opportunities as they arise – both in the industrial mobility battery sector and in the fast-growing renewable energy storage sector, on which the company has a strong focus.
  • The acquisition agreement also results in the optimization of globally operated manufacturing facilities under a single management team to enable better service regardless of location or customer base. In addition, the move will help accelerate the pace of innovation in the critical area of lithium-ion technology, where Sunlight Group has strong capabilities and is investing significant resources to further improve the technology.
  • 30+ years experience in the battery market
  • Represented with locations on 4 continents and in 14 countries
  • 35+ locations
  • 3,100 employees
  • 5 R&D centers
  • 4 battery technologies in use

The mission: Establishing a complete value chain for energy storage systems

Together with TRIATHLON , Sunlight Group is driving vertical integration into a circular ecosystem:

from raw materials and cell production to complete storage solutions
