Clarios International (BTRY) has filed for a proposed IPO.
The company describes itself as: "Clarios is one of the world’s largest suppliers of energy storage solutions. We design and manufacture advanced, low-voltage battery technologies for global mobility and industrial applications, offering reliability, safety and comfort to everyday lives. Our batteries power cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, marine vehicles, powersports vehicles and industrial products. In our core low-voltage mobility battery markets, we are the only global manufacturer and are significantly larger than our nearest competitor by revenue. We believe we are unique in terms of our global capabilities, with the number one market position in both the Americas and Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), and the number three market position in Asia. The majority of demand for our products comes from the aftermarket channel (“aftermarket”), driven by consumer replacements. We sell more than 150 million batteries annually that are distributed to original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and aftermarket customers in over 100 countries. Our scale, global footprint and vertical integration allow us to operate with a best-in-class cost structure, lead the industry in technological innovation and deliver greater value to customers and consumers. We estimate that we supply a third of the global automotive low-voltage battery volume. We have established one of the world’s most successful examples of a circular economy. We design, manufacture, transport, recycle and recover the materials in vehicle batteries using a closed-loop system. Our batteries are designed so that up to 99% of the materials can be responsibly recovered, recycled and repurposed directly into new batteries. "
BMO Capital Markets will serve as sole underwriter.
