Globalization 2.0 Era I Better Tech Group’s First Africa Battery Plant Is Officially Put into Operation

Recently, the first battery plant in Africa of Better Technology Group Limited (referred to as Better Tech Group) was officially put into operation. This marks that Better Tech Group formally steps into the globalization 2.0 era, officially starts the new process of overseas localization and expansion and promotes the new layout of overseas production and sales. This project will not only fill the gap in local manufacturing of high-quality batteries in Africa but also meet the demand of the market of African countries.

On that day, Hon. Mwabashke Nkulukusa, Minister of Zambia’s Central Province, along with Hon. Lloyd Kayeka, Regional Administrator of Chibombo City, Mr. Ye Ji, General Manager of Jiangxi Economic Cooperation Zone in Zambia, and other leaders visited the company. Accompanied by Alex, Deputy General Manager of Better Tech Group’s Africa plant, Luke, the head of the plant, and other leaders, who witnessed the successful rollout of the first qualified battery from Better Tech Group's first Africa battery plant.

First of all, Alex (Deputy GM) delivered an opening speech, in which he said, the successful formal production of Better Tech Group's Africa plant is a significant milestone for the company to take root in the African markets and also a key step for the combination of Better Tech Group's globalization strategy and localization layout. As the first local battery manufacturing base in Zambia, it introduces a full set of advanced production equipment and technologies from China, focusing on the R&D and manufacturing of diversified battery products with excellent performance, high reliability, and safety, to meet the needs of various application scenarios. Once the first-phase project is fully operational, its daily production capacity will reach 4,800 starter batteries and energy storage batteries, which can support 555,000 automobiles or trucks each year and fulfill the need for localized energy storage.

He also expressed his gratitude for the strong support from both the Chinese government and the Zambian government for this successful production, as well as the project team's practical spirit of “getting into the game” and the cooperative spirit. Moving forward, Better Tech Group's Africa plant will continue to adhere to the customer-centered principle and strictly control quality from raw material selection to full inspection of finished products. It will provide effective and affordable energy solutions for Zambia and promote the prosperity of the energy sector in Zambia and across Africa as a whole.

Hon. Mwabashke Nkulukusa, Minister of Zambia’s Central Province extended his sincere congratulations to Better Tech Group’s Africa plant on the formal launch of their production plant. He emphasized that manufacturing is a crucial pillar of the country. It not only promotes the infrastructure development in the Central Province but also stimulates the local job market and attracts international investment. Thus, in turn, it plays a positive role in Zambia’s economic growth and social stability. He also said that the Zambian government will continue to support the plant’s development. They hope that the plant will be able to broaden the market and attract more upstream and downstream high-quality enterprises to gather in Zambia, so as to jointly promote Zambia’s development to a new height.

Better Tech Group’s Africa Plant has fully introduced cutting-edge production technologies and high-end production lines and carefully selected high-quality lead, acid, and other raw materials. Relied on the advantages of Zambia's local production, it can produce excellent SUNVOLT batteries with superior quality and strong performance. The SUNVOLT batteries experienced 10,000 vibration tests and 4,000 start tests, with the advantages of more stable ignition and no fear of rough roads. Meanwhile, a 20% lead block increase contributes to more sufficient capacity. In addition, the advanced expanding technologies can produce higher-density batteries.

In the context of global energy transformation and upgrading, the successful production of Better Tech Group’s Africa plant will significantly advance Zambia’s energy industry to a new stage of development. Taking this as a new starting point, with innovation as the driving force and quality as the foundation, the plant will unswervingly pursue green and sustainable development paths. It commits to bringing advanced energy technologies and solutions to Africa and providing substantial support and strong impetus for energy restructuring and the consistent economic development of more countries in Africa.
