Interview with Aurora Malossi, Marketing & Communications Responsible at Galvani Power.
Easy Engineering: What are the main areas of activity of the company?
Aurora Malossi: Galvani Power was created to meet the need for batteries in the market, not satisfied by the Gigafactory. These are based on a production model that does not deal with serving a large market share like SMEs and that lacks production flexibility. As mature and saturated as this may seem, the vacuum left by current lithium battery manufacturers is large.
In this sense, our business model is based on the internal production of our product, which allows us to maintain control over quality and costs, as well as to provide our customers with a personalized and high-quality service. Our strength is based on the modularity of the batteries that allows the creation of the same for several sectors.
