Varta

With its origins tracing back to 1887, VARTA AG was founded by Adolf Müller on a mission to make energy portable and reliable, a concept perfectly captured in its name—an acronym for the German words for distribution, charging, and repair of transportable accumulators. This foundational focus on innovation propelled the company to become an early pioneer, providing some of the first batteries for car lighting and ignition. For over 135 years, VARTA has been synonymous with quality and reliability, consistently powering new technologies and shaping the future of mobile energy.

The founder's vision of providing dependable power for a world on the move remains the cornerstone of the company's strategy. This has driven VARTA's evolution from lead-acid batteries to becoming a global leader in advanced energy solutions. Today, VARTA's product portfolio spans from advanced automotive batteries for start-stop systems and conventional vehicles to a wide range of consumer batteries and industry-leading lithium-ion microbatteries. These high-performance microbatteries are crucial components for a vast range of applications, including premium wireless headphones, hearing aids, and other wearable technologies.

While remaining firmly rooted in its heritage with major production and research facilities in Germany, VARTA AG operates globally. This 'Made in Germany' quality and engineering expertise are delivered to customers worldwide through a robust network of international subsidiaries and distribution partners across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. This global presence ensures that VARTA's innovative battery solutions continue to power a wide array of applications for both industrial and end-consumer markets around the world.
