Banner Batteries take UK distributors to Austria

Three-day visit to Banner Batteries’ head office and world class manufacturing facility in Linz

Banner Batteries take UK distributors to Austria

A 17-strong contingent from nine UK automotive aftermarket motor factors recently received the chance to gain an explicit and informative insight into the makings of an OE battery manufacturer.

It was a trip that also saw the customers of Banner Batteries’ GB operation participate in a couple of ‘bucket list’ experiences in the process.

With Banner kick-starting proceedings at the Linz manufacturing facility, the distributors were entertained to a factory tour that served to detail the step-by-step process of automotive battery production; one that sees Banner’s batteries fitted as OE on many of today’s leading car marques.

This was followed on day two with a visit to the world famous Kehlsteinhaus, or Eagle’s Nest as it is known in English speaking countries.

A Third-Reich building erected on top of the summit of Kehlstein, it was used by the Nazi Party for Government and social meetings, and visited by Adolf Hitler on 14 documented occasions.

Today it is open seasonally as a restaurant, beer garden, and tourist site.

Concluding the excursion, Banner’s distributors enjoyed visiting the renowned BMW Museum in neighbouring Germany’s Munich.

Banner Batteries’ country manager, Lee Quinney said: “The primary reason for organising the visit was to demonstrate Banner’s design, manufacturing and research and development capabilities, which is in essence why the quality of their batteries have become so prominent within the OE arena.

“It also presented an opportunity for our customers to enjoy one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions.

“And by adding in the BMW Museum experience, we were able to successfully round off the trip on an automotive footing.”
