Inversión estratégica de 75,6 millones de euros en Kilkis

The investment in Sunlight Technosystems strengthens vertical integration, accelerates new product development and enhances the Group’s supply chain resilience

Sunlight Group, a member of Olympia Group and a technology company providing integrated and innovative energy storage solutions, announces the completion of a strategic investment program totaling €75.6 million at the facilities of its subsidiary, Sunlight Technosystems, in Kilkis. Following the completion of the investment program, Sunlight Group now meets 85% of its needs for key battery components and structural elements in-house.

This strategic investment reflects Sunlight Group’s strong commitment to developing an autonomous production model in the face of global supply chain challenges. By strengthening its vertical integration and manufacturing autonomy, Sunlight Group ensures business continuity and uninterrupted customer service, while making a significant contribution to Europe’s energy and industrial autonomy.

Specifically, the Group gains autonomy over critical stages of the production process, reduces its dependence on external suppliers and creates the conditions for faster development and launch of new products on the market. At the same time, it optimizes operating and transportation costs, enhances quality control, and increases the resilience of its supply chain, thereby strengthening its competitive position in international markets.

The investment also supports Sunlight Group’s ability to offer more comprehensive solutions to its international customers through a one-stop-shop approach, combining the production of critical components with the development and manufacturing of integrated energy storage systems.

“The completion of the investment in Sunlight Technosystems reflects our long-term strategy of investing in infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities that strengthen the Group’s competitiveness in a global market with ever-increasing demands. We invest in the internal development of know-how, in production autonomy, and in advanced technologies that enable us to develop new products more quickly, reduce production costs, and offer comprehensive, high-quality solutions to our customers. At the same time, we remain firmly committed to ‘Made in Europe’ manufacturing, strengthening our industrial footprint in Greece and supporting employment and economic activity in a border region such as Kilkis. We believe that developing a strong European industrial base is essential to Sunlight Group’s long-term competitiveness and resilience,” said Lampros Bisalas, CEO of Sunlight Group.

Vertically Integrated Manufacturing and Four New Products

The investment program was implemented across two main pillars:

· Expansion of the facilities, which now cover 34,450 square meters on company-owned land, incorporating into the existing structures a new 28,000-square-meter Metal Box unit and a 1,250-square-meter Plastic Container unit.

· Production of four new high-precision products essential for the assembly of industrial batteries. The new production capacity amounts to 375 metal traction battery cases per day, 19,200 plastic lead-acid cell containers, 15,000 sealing elements, and 23,000 battery connectors per day, significantly expanding the company’s production footprint.
