Yuasa

"GS Yuasa Corporation, currently headquartered in Kyoto (JPN), is one of the world's leading manufacturers of car and motorcycle batteries in the world. It was formed through the fusion of the companies "Japan Storage Battery" and "Yuasa Storage Battery". These companies were pioneers in the development and advancement of rechargeable batteries. More than 100 years have passed since "Japan Storage Battery" was founded in 1917, a period characterized by constant innovation, further development and success, both on a commercial and technological level. A milestone was the invention of a method for producing lead powder, the most important component of rechargeable batteries, in 1920, which significantly improved the quality and performance of lead batteries. Through the development and further development of high-performance power supply systems and highly efficient lithium-ion batteries, the field of activity now extends beyond the boundaries of the automotive and motorcycle sectors to deep-sea, aviation and aerospace."
