Two companies, one future

Both Wetac and Intercel are known for high-quality products, excellent service and strong value for money. Together, we play a leading role in four key segments:

  • Motive: Cyclic batteries among others for sectors such as mobility, cleaning, agri etc,
  • Standby: Backup power including for UPS in telecom & data centers, healthcare, security, etc,.
  • Storage: Energy storage systems including for grid congestion and peak shaving,
  • Electrification: custom lithium battery solutions for electrification of machinery.

Jeroen Pietryga, CEO of Wetac and future CEO of Intercel Group, says: “Together we are starting an exciting new chapter. Electrification as part of the energy transition is increasing the demand for battery solutions in Europe. By joining forces with Intercel, we not only strengthen our position in the Netherlands, but also expand our product range and services in Europe, particularly in the areas of energy storage (ESS) and electrification. In addition, this integration enables us to invest in (product) innovation and sustainability, so that we can offer even better solutions .”

Vincent Kleintjens, CEO of Intercel, adds: “In recent months, I have found that Wetac’s corporate culture – with its entrepreneurial spirit and strong customer focus – is a perfect fit for Intercel. Together, we have deep battery expertise in both lead and lithium and a shared commitment to quality and service. This collaboration creates new opportunities for our employees and enables us to deliver even more value to our customers through Wetac’s European network .”

What does this integration mean for you?
For now, everything will remain as it is as we carefully begin the process of integrating our two companies. We are taking the time necessary and will involve you, where relevant, in this transition.

We look forward to working together even more successfully!
