Lars Barkler, CEO of Lithium Balance, says:

Being part of Sensata brings us access to the top OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) that can help us grow faster. I am proud that Danish-developed battery technology can occupy a place among the leaders in the world.

Lithium Balance will continue to be part of the strong technological environment in Denmark, where since 2006, the company has had a years-long research collaboration with especially DTU, Aalborg University and the Danish Technological Institute.


Vineet Nargolwala, Executive Vice President, Sensing Solutions at Sensata Technologies, says:

We are pleased that the talented Lithium Balance team is now part of Sensata.
