This agreement applies specifically to the Netherlands and covers the distribution of the complete product range of lead-acid batteries for industrial use. This range includes the stand-by battery types NP, NPL, SW, SWL, EN, NPH, NPW, REW, as well as the NPC, REC, ENL, and SLR series for cyclic applications.
The collaboration between Elfa and GS YUASA is based on a shared vision of quality, reliability, and safety.

Jürgen Johnson, Export Sales Manager at GS YUASA:
'For GS YUASA, the partnership with Elfa is an important strategic step. Our industrial VRLA batteries are now available through Elfa's global distribution channels, which significantly strengthens our market position. We are pleased to partner with a company that upholds the same values and standards as we do.'
Daan Schutte, Sales Director at Elfa:
'For Elfa, it is an honor to become the official distributor of GS YUASA's industrial VRLA batteries. We have always followed two principles since our company's inception: before a product is added to our range, its quality and safety must first be demonstrably proven. Furthermore, we always ensure that new products complement our existing offerings to avoid unnecessary competition. We have found all of this in GS YUASA.'
