Empowering electrification: The opening of Husqvarna’s fourth site for the Group Battery Competence Center

Husqvarna’s Battery Competence Center is in its fourth year of operation

Aligned with the rapidly accelerating trend of electrification, Husqvarna embarked on a journey in 2020, by establishing a Group Battery Competence Center (BCC), gathering all our battery expertise under one roof. The aim was to be at the cutting edge of battery technology and maintain their leading position in battery-powered products.

The BCC works as a central hub facilitating knowledge exchange and collaboration in the battery field across divisions and business units. Operating globally, the BCC provides support to all divisions through battery engineering, industrialization, and supply chain management. The BCC team has expanded to encompass approximately 85 experts spread across four strategic sites: Huskvarna and Jonsered in Sweden, as well as in Ulm, and now Karlstein, in Germany.

The new center will serve as a hub for a team of 30 experts dedicated to pioneering the development and testing of groundbreaking battery solutions tailored to Husqvarna’s products and services. The team in Karlstein will collaborate with colleagues from other sites and engage with our customers and partners, including suppliers, industry collaborators, and academic institutions. This expansion reinforces Husqvarna’s commitment to electrification and pioneering advancements in battery technology. Source
