TWS (Europe)

What TWS (Europe) does

TWS (Technology Limited) is a privately held Chinese lithium-ion battery systems company founded in 1998 in Guangzhou by Raymond Leung. With more than 2,000 global employees, five manufacturing bases, six R&D centers, and over 110 patents, the company designs and manufactures battery cells, packs, and integrated energy solutions across three primary lines: Energy Storage Solutions (ESS) for commercial, industrial, and utility-scale deployment; Mobile Power Solutions (MPS) serving eMobility, material handling, eCall, industrial handhelds, and medical devices; and Commercial Battery Solutions (CBS) plus the Arkpax consumer brand for portable power stations and vacuum cleaners. Core technologies include proprietary UltraXel cells, Active Cell Balancing, liquid-cooling ESS cabinets, and an intelligent EMS platform with remote monitoring.

The business model combines high-volume ODM/OEM cell and pack supply to industrial and medical OEMs (e.g., EDAN, VOCERA, DREAME, ECOVACS, CRRC) with project-based sales of containerized and cabinet ESS systems through EPC partners and regional distributors. The company is vertically integrated from cell to system and holds ISO 13485, IATF 16949, CNAS, DEKRA CTF, and AEO Advanced certifications, enabling it to serve regulated end markets. Geographic reach spans China, Europe (TWS GmbH in Frankfurt), the US, Korea, Indonesia, and South Africa, with a recent push into Southeast Asia via the Indonesia Strategic Alliance. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of cells, packs, cabinets, and containers, supplemented by the emerging B2C portable power station line under Arkpax.
