At this year’s Battery Show in Japan, the leading trade fair for battery development and manufacturing in Asia, our new Japanese sales partner KBK Group from Tokyo, represented by KBK Europe (→ www.kbkeurope.de) to make many interesting contacts. With its LionGuard systems, the Genius Group was the only complete supplier for the safe storage and UN-compliant transport of lithium ion batteries at this trade fair in Tokyo.

International companies such as Mazda, Honda, Lexus, Toyota, Sony, Sanyo etc. expressed their explicit interest. A comparable safety system for defective and damaged lithium ion batteries does not yet exist in Japan. Director Michael Knobloch of Genius Group and Managing Director Kiyonori Kaizaki of KBK Group were extremely satisfied with the first appearance in Japan.

At this year’s Feuertrutz 2019, the leading trade fair for structural fire protection in Europe, the Genius Group was able to generate more than 90 national and international contacts from well-known companies.

The focus of the booth was on the safe storage and UN-compliant transport of lithium ion batteries. “We were the only suppliers for this special area at the fair and were thus able to successfully meet the strong demand with our innovative solutions”.

Due to the great success, the area of storage and safe charging of lithium ion batteries will be massively expanded by the Genius Group within the next 6 months.

From July 20 through July 23, 2018 Europe’s leading bicycle purchasing association ZEG extended invitations to its traditional ZEG Bike Show at Exhibition Hall 8 in Cologne. More than 110 exhibitors and 5,000 participants took the opportunity to present their latest products for the coming season.

Attending the ZEG Bike Show for the first time this year, The Genius Group took the opportunity to make its own presentation. The Genius Group, together with Board of Director Egbert Hageböck, has developed exclusive products for ZEG members, providing safe storage and UN-compliant transport of E-Bike batteries. Both the Lithium-Ion Akku Safe Box and the Lithium-Ion Akku Safe Big as well as the fire extinguisher for E-bike batteries were very well received.

Plans are also underway to provide spacious cabinets for charging and storing E-bike batteries. This project was met with a lot of encouragement from the bicycle dealers attending, since these battery cabinets will provide a solution for the separate storage of functioning and defective batteries, without the risk of functional batteries being endangered by a possible thermal runaway in other batteries.
