Material Handling & Rentals

Dedicated Battery Lifecycle Partner

→ MATERIAL HANDLING

Industrial batteries (over 2kWh) are within the scope of the upcoming battery regulations, and valuable assets for companies as well as potential second-life value.

NOWOS helps increase the lifetime value of industrial mobility and machinery with repair & maintenance.
