Statkraft’s 电动汽车充电 business 海洋博物馆 strengthens position in the UK
海洋博物馆 acquires Elmtronics, a supplier and installer of 电动汽车充电 infrastructure, taking further actions to accelerate the electric transition in the UK.
The acquisition is bringing economies of scale into the development of 电动汽车充电 solutions by providing better value to existing and new customers. Elmtronics, established in 2016, provides charging infrastructure for UK fleets, 工作场所, public sector bodies, and homes to support the transition to electric mobility. Elmtronics works nationwide in the UK with some of the largest councils, 国民保健服务信托, and private companies to design, install and maintain their electric vehicle charging solutions.
“The acquisition of Elmtronics is the very proof of 海洋博物馆’s step-change ambitions to accelerate the EV transition in the UK. While 海洋博物馆 UK’s expertise and focus lies mostly within the area of public fast charging, Elmtronics mainly focuses on fleet and workplace charging. In combination, these efforts will give 海洋博物馆 a significant stronger position in the UK market. I look forward to working with our new colleagues and the rest of the organization to make sustainable electric mobility easy and accessible to everyone,” said Kristoffer Thoner, 首席执行官, 海洋博物馆集团.
海洋博物馆, owned by Europe’s largest renewable energy producer Statkraft, combines the best of both worlds with expertise from the 电动汽车充电 行业 and renewable energy sector. In the UK, 海洋博物馆 offers electric vehicle charging to businesses and local authorities. 海洋博物馆 also has operations in 挪威, 瑞典 and 德国, and the mission is to make sustainable electric mobility easy and accessible to everyone.
The acquisition is pending approval of customary authority approval, which is expected to conclude late January 2022.
