What a crazy year this has been. Corona has turned many things upside down.
But it has also shown us that a crisis only makes us stronger.
With our joint strength we have mastered the new challenges and made the best out of the situation. Now it is finally time to sit back a little and rejoice in what we have achieved.
We wish you peaceful and reflective holidays! Now look forward with us to the new year!

Just how unpredictable lithium-ion batteries can be was demonstrated by a major fire at a French manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries in early October 2020.
According to the local police, the fire accident occurred during the assembly of lithium batteries. Due to the rapid development of the fire, the building was completely destroyed.
The major fire and the extinguishing work lasted about four hours, but the asecos safety cabinet of the ION-LINE model line, which was only purchased this year, withstood the fire and protected the batteries stored inside from the heat and further ignition inside the cabinet.
This example makes it clear: Unfortunately, accidents cannot always be prevented. However, damage can be significantly minimised or prevented altogether if an appropriate risk assessment has been prepared.
