From battery wholesaler to leader in energy transition
For more than 40 years, Intercel has been providing our customers with the right battery every day. Having started out as a wholesaler of AGM batteries, we are now also a producer of customized batteries for the electrification of machinery and a partner in energy storage systems: we are involved in the energy transition across the board!
Four divisions, one character
To keep things clear, we have divided our operations into four divisions:
- Motive: The original trading division of Intercel that helps companies in the Netherlands and abroad get the best batteries for their products. More about Intercel Motive.
- Standby: For standby applications, we offer stationary backup battery solutions for critical and non-critical systems. Uninterrupted power ensures that systems continue to run, even in the event of a power failure. More about Intercel Standby.
- Electrification: This division designs and manufactures custom batteries for electrifying diesel machinery. Together with our partners, we give these machines a sustainable second life. More about Intercel Electrification.
- Storage: ESS is the abbreviation for “Energy Storage Systems”. This division’s mission is to solve the problems surrounding grid congestion: a major challenge resulting from the energy transition. With energy storage systems, we ensure that companies continue to have sufficient (sustainable) power. View the Intercel Storage website.

Our future
We see a major role for ourselves in the changes of our time: in the energy transition, we act as the driving force of electrification and as a guide and partner for all the challenges involved. That is why on March 12, 2024, the first pile went into the ground of the Haarlem Energy HUB: the Netherlands’ largest production complex for customized batteries. The new complex has more than enough space for R&D, production lines, storage, offices and more than 100 colleagues!
With the design of the Haarlem Energy HUB, we are setting a new standard for safe handling of lithium batteries, complete with the latest PGS 37-2 safety standards.
