What Autopart Sa does

Autopart S.A. is a Polish manufacturer of lead-acid batteries founded in 1982 and headquartered in Mielec, Poland, operating from a 21,000 m² production site. It produces batteries for passenger vehicles, commercial trucks and buses, agricultural machinery, marine and RV applications, and stationary energy storage systems, with a disclosed annual production capacity of 2.5 million units and exports distributed across more than 50 countries. The product portfolio spans flooded, EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery), AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat), and DUAL chemistries, with proprietary use of the Barton system spray technique for lead oxide production - making it the only Polish battery manufacturer using that process. Recent product launches include the Galaxy EFB II line (2024) with Nano Power Carbon additive and the EFB EVR (2025) with stabilizing core technology, and the company has added a stationary Energy Storage System (EMS) line for residential and commercial applications.

Autopart generates revenue through B2B sales of private-label and branded batteries to OEMs, wholesalers, and distributors across multiple European and international markets. The company is structured as a privately held Polish joint-stock company (S.A.) with a share capital of 9,073,500 PLN, and it holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and IATF 16949 certifications, with the latter being a critical credential for automotive OEM qualification. Operational investments include robotic automation on the manufacturing lines (2017) and on-site photovoltaic generation at the Mielec facility (2023) to reduce energy cost exposure.

The company's customer base is diversified across multiple end-markets and geographies but is not publicly disclosed by name, and it operates in a structurally mature European lead-acid industry that is exposed to long-term EV-driven demand contraction in automotive starter batteries, partially offset by growth in stationary storage and start-stop EFB/AGM applications.
