Flash Battery opens US subsidiary in Houston

Flash Battery has opened a new subsidiary in Houston, Texas to strengthen its presence in the US market.

Officially established in 2023, Flash Battery Inc, which includes its own warehouse, will be central to providing robust after-sales support to clients in the North American, Mexican and Canadian markets.

The board of directors will be chaired by Marco Righi, CEO of Flash Battery, and members Filippo Di Gregorio, Chief Operating Officer (COO), and Andrea Pongolini, Executive Vice President of Sales (EVP) of E80 Group in the US.

The US market accounts for 35% of turnover for Flash Battery, a former start-up company, now ranking among the top European lithium battery manufacturers for industrial machinery and electric vehicles. In 2023, it achieved a turnover of 34 million euros

Marco Righi, Co-Founder of Flash Battery, said: “The choice of Houston as headquarters is strategic with respect to our plans for development, and above all for after-sales service to support the American, Mexican and Canadian markets, which represent a fast-growing market for us.”

He continued: “All research and production will remain in our headquarters in Sant’Ilario, Italy, where more than 120 people are engaged in development. The Houston office will instead focus on strengthening relations with overseas customers, gathering useful information for the innovations demanded by those markets and providing remote assistance and any on-site visits free of delays due to differences in time zones.”
