The figures presented on the fol- we can produce larger quantities. This helps us to make head- lowing pages speak for themselves: with an operating budget way in research fields that are new to us, such as storage of about 32 million euros (without investments) we earned technologies. Besides lithium ion batteries we also deal with 27 million euros in external funds, mainly from direct industry NaS and redox flow batteries. Ceramic cathode materials and revenues. Our total profit rate is once again well above manufacturing technologies are in the focus of our activities 80 percent – at both branches! in the field of lithium ion batteries. Especially plant engineer- ing is a field in the European market which shows significant As in previous years, last year was marked by special chal- deficits and we would like to help close the gaps.
