February 28, 2025: European lead acid manufacturer Exide Technologies has achieved ISO 27001 certification for information security management covering activities including battery production and shipment.

The company said on February 20 that the Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification (AENOR) had awarded the certification following evaluation of all processes and security systems. 

The certification also covers IT and networking services and internal services such as sales, marketing and finance.

Martin Gaessl, VP and group chief information officer at Exide Technologies, said: “This achievement is a significant milestone in our strategy to enhance data protection and secure operations across all business units.”

Batteries International reported earlier in February that the company had launched a new AGM battery and a lithium-based BESS for the telecoms sector.

The move followed last year’s acquisition of German lithium battery tech firm BE-Power for an undisclosed sum.
