Battery Factory Sombor, Joint-Stock Company has been in the lead-acid starter battery market since 1952, having transformed from a small workshop for assembling and servicing of 6V and 12V batteries. Since then, the firm has experienced steady progress though it was not until 1974 than it came to a turning point and took a direction of dynamic development. It was then when the US-based GLOBE UNION'S licence was bought, boosting improvement of technology and equipment, due to the company's expertise and experience. In 2004 a new generation of batteries based on calcium technology was launched on the market, this required modernization of the production process. Leading manufacturers' machines and equipment such as WIRTZ, TEKMAX, TIEGEL, MAC, SOVEMA, TBS etc. have been installed thus meeting the requirements of EN 50342.

BLACK HORSE is now a familiar brand name in the markets of Europe, Africa and Asia.

The Factory can turn out 1,000,000 batteries per annum (30 Ah through 235 Ah), ranking it among prominent battery manufacturers in this part of Europe.

The said achievements serve as basis for further development and expansion.
