Overview
Saft designs and manufactures high-tech batteries for industrial use, including transportation, telecommunications, and energy storage. Its batteries store chemical energy in cells and convert it to electrical energy, using advanced chemistries and systems to deliver power in demanding environments. It differs from competitors through a century of experience since 1913, public listing since 1924, and ownership by TotalEnergies since 2016, which provide global resources and scale. Its goal is to provide sustainable, efficient energy storage that powers essential services and supports the transition to renewable energy.
