With its two business units 'Automotive' and 'Energy Solutions', the Banner Group is a leading international supplier of battery solutions.
The Automotive business unit has an extensive product portfolio, which includes starter, vehicle electrical system and leisure batteries for both the original equipment (OE) and aftermarket (IAM) sectors. As a rule, these products are developed and manufactured at the group
headquarters and production plant in Leonding (Austria).
As Austria’s only battery producer, Banner is recognised as numbering among the international branch leaders and supplies many important automotive manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, VW, Mitsubishi, Volvo, Kässbohrer, Liebherr with batteries for first fitting. Banner products have proven themselves both in the cold of northern Scandinavia and the heat of Africa.
Conversely, the Energy Solutions business unit, which is located in Thalheim near Wels (Austria), specialises in the further development of products for the traction, semitraction and standby segments.
The family-owned group, which is headed by Andreas Bawart and Thomas Bawart, employs
an 805-strong workforce across Europe. In thirteen European countries, dealer support is provided by the group’s own sales companies, while in over 70 other countries in Europe, Africa and Asia, products are sold through direct importers.
