Saft

Saft describes itself as a global battery company with over 100 years of experience, providing longer-lasting batteries and systems for critical safety applications, back-up power and propulsion. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TotalEnergies since 2016, operates in 18 countries with 16 manufacturing sites, more than 4,500 employees and more than 3,000 customers. Its batteries serve sectors including aerospace and performance, energy storage, industry, Internet of Things (IoT) and mobility.

Saft states that it has been powering the world for over 100 years. It was the first company to manufacture nickel and lithium-ion batteries in France. Saft became part of CGE in the late 1920s. In 1972, a new logo was created to unify Saft's various brands (Leclanché, SOGEA and URA). On November 15, 1990, Compagnie Generale d'Electricité (CGE) introduced a new graphic identity and logo; a name change to ALCATEL ALSTHOM earlier in 1990 required a new logo for CGE and each of its subsidiaries, including Saft. In 2004, Saft was sold by Alcatel to Doughty Hanson Funds and became a Public Limited Company with shares listed on Paris Euronext. Since 2016, Saft has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of TotalEnergies.
