Following its debut appearance at Automechanika last year, Manbat, the UK’s largest battery distributor, now has the French show on its agenda as it shifts its European focus to Equip Auto, Paris in October.

Situated on stand 3 E075, the specially designed stand will provide Manbat with a prominent site from which to demonstrate its position as part of the ECOBAT Technologies group and promote the Lucas and Numax brands to the European aftermarket.

Myles Pemberton, marketing manager for Manbat said: “We believe Equip Auto gives us an excellent platform through which to reach a new audience of European buyers with some truly great products.

“The brands in our portfolio provide those visitors looking for genuine profit opportunities with a tremendous range of products with which they can make a substantial impact on a number of power storage markets. Whether they wish to develop the leisure sector with Numax, the quality automotive and commercial vehicle sectors with Lucas, or are simply committed to supplying their customers with the very best with VARTA, Manbat is able to respond with the products and support to fulfil their individual requirements.

“The exhibition also affords us the opportunity to express Manbat’s environmental credentials and explain how in conjunction with some of the other companies within the ECOBAT Technologies group, we can achieve a recycling level of 99.9% with a typical lead acid battery and therefore contribute to the sustainable use of the earth’s finite resources.”

In addition to its three core brands, Manbat is also a major distributor of lower volume specialist batteries such as the dry cell Odyssey range and the fast charging/deep cycle Optima range, as well as being the primary UK distributor of Sonnenschein mobility batteries. With more than 60 years of experience in all forms of power storage, Manbat has a wealth of knowledge that can help to develop battery sales and maximise the opportunities that its brands can offer.
