As part of Espex Batteries’ national drive to offer even swifter, better value service to our loyal customers, we’ve just completed work on an additional warehouse at our Barry, South Wales HQ. Fully racked and kitted, the new facility has 700 pallet positions which can hold up to an 20,000 additional traction cells in stock.

“Year on year our business is growing and demand for our CEIL traction batteries increases,” explains Amit Ghosal, chief executive of Espex Batteries Ltd, exclusive supplier of CEIL batteriesin the UK and Europe. “We have every reason to be confident in the future of British logistics and have therefore augmented our capacity to 50,000 traction cells as well as battery trays, battery chargers and all accessories needed to ensure prompt supply for our customers throughout the UK and Ireland.”

Espex Batteries has come a long way since its inception in 2003 and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate our 20th anniversary than with this new warehouse and our pledge to improve the availability of our traction battery systems.

They say time flies, and that’s no truer than here at Espex Batteries - we can’t believe that it’s been 20 years since the company was founded! We’ve been serving the UK logistics industry as the exclusive supplier of CEIL traction batteries for two decades, ensuring forklifts keep running with our network of install and service engineers.

 “While traction batteries have remained our core business these past 20 years,” explains Espex Batteries’ Chief Executive Amit Ghosal, “we have been continually developing our products and improving our service. These days customers can purchase CEIL’s “ORC” rapid-recharge traction batteries which offer the best of both worlds: the practicality and economy of lead-acid with the fast opportunity-charging offered by lithium-ion equivalents.

 “Likewise our network of fitters and service engineers is more widespread than ever across the UK, and we’re finding our international customer base is growing year on year.”

We look forward to serving your business for the next 20 years and beyond.

Every day our team of battery engineers is travelling the country fitting and inspecting traction batteries in order to keep UK logistics moving. We’re delighted to announce that as part of our continuous drive to be a more sustainable business, these site visits will now be doing away with physical paperwork and allowing for job sheets to be created – and signed-off by our customers – digitally.

Using our bespoke mobile app, engineers can list the works done at each site visit – such as inspections, voltage checks on cells etc – take relevant photographs then talk all this through with our customers before both parties sign off the itemised job sheets. It’s a process that leads to more streamlined record-keeping for both our battery engineers and our customers.

“Our business has a strong focus on sustainability,” explains Amit Ghosal, Chief Executive of Espex Batteries Ltd, “for example we recycle customers’ traction batteries once they reach the end of their natural life, ensuring materials are not wasted or worse – end up in landfill.

“So this step toward digitisation of our site team’s job sheets is a natural progression, and it also makes for a more clear process overall, with easier record-keeping and accountability.”

Don’t forget: if you want to find out more about how our battery engineers can work with your site teams, come and visit us IMHX at the Birmingham NEC this 6th – 8th September, stand 5F61, where we’ll be showing off our ORC range of rapid/opportunity recharge traction batteries.
