What Renata does

Renata SA is a Swiss micro-battery manufacturer headquartered in Ittigen, Switzerland, and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Swatch Group. Founded in 1952, the company specializes in the production of button-cell and micro-batteries across multiple chemistries, including Silver Oxide (consumer and high-pulse variants), 3V Lithium, rechargeable Lithium-Polymer, Thin-Film, and Zinc-Air batteries. Its product portfolio extends to battery holders, tabbed coin cells, and accessories, supplemented by an on-demand custom design service that has produced more than 900 customer-specific products for medical, industrial, informatics, and logistics applications.

The company operates a global distribution network, with headquarters and primary manufacturing in Switzerland, customer service and logistics coordination for the Americas out of Miami, and localized digital presence across Switzerland, the Americas, China, and International markets via multilingual websites. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a network of authorized distribution partners, supporting flexible logistics via sea, land, and air cargo. Customer-facing communication is anchored on a corporate website, LinkedIn, and YouTube, with no published pricing model.

Renata serves three primary verticals — consumer goods (watches, wearables, smart metering, portable devices), industry (IoT, automation, specialized equipment), and medical (hearing aids and other regulated devices) — alongside an emerging IoT use case. Strategic partnerships include a flagship collaboration with Tissot (a fellow Swatch Group brand) on watch battery solutions, and the company holds IVM Childsafe certification under US 16 CFR § 1700.20 for child-resistant packaging of its 10-count MPS Blister products.
