Our Story

Mission and Values

NOWOS: a social enterprise

NOWOS was created in 2019 from the desire to contribute to a better society and a more sustainable economy.

Drawing on deep experience in battery engineering and production, we recognized a clear market gap: no one was offering professional battery repair services, especially for lithium-ion batteries in the micromobility industry.

We had the knowledge, and the need was growing rapidly.

We founded NOWOS as a social enterprise, embedding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles at the core of our business model.

We strive to build a circular economy for lithium-ion batteries, one that not only reduces waste and carbon emissions but is also profitable for all stakeholders involved. From customers and employees to partners and investors, we believe sustainability and economic value can go hand in hand.

ABOUT OUR TEAM

→ OUR MISSION

Our mission is to create a transparent, reliable, and profitable circular economy for lithium-ion batteries.

NOWOS extends the life and value of lithium-ion batteries through certified repair, diagnostics, and lifecycle management.

This reduces waste, saves money, and helps partners meet EU compliance and sustainability goals.

→ OUR VISION

To make the circular use of batteries the norm in Europe, powering a world where every lithium-ion battery is repaired, reused, and responsibly reintroduced into the value chain.

NOWOS envisions a global economy in which energy systems are circular by design, products are built to last, and sustainability and profitability go hand in hand.

VIEW OUR IMPACT

MANTRA

We believe batteries are vital to modern life. They should not be treated as disposable.

We exist to make battery circularity the default.

We extend the life, value, and safety of every lithium-ion battery.

We do this through certified repair, diagnostics, and lifecycle management.

We help our partners reduce waste, save resources, and meet the highest standards of EU compliance.

We commit to deliver excellent service for our partners, for the planet, and for the future.
