# LogBATT expands into new markets – successful cooperation with Febelauto and Recupbat in Belgium

 Posted on 28. November 202419. March 2026

On 19 September, numerous experts and partners attended a ‘sizzling’ event organised
by LogBATT GmbH, Febelauto and RecuPbat at the new lithium-ion battery storage facility
near the port of Antwerp. The event brought together **leading players in the battery
and automotive industry**, including recycling experts, car importers, energy suppliers
and policy makers. The focus was on the need for** sustainable solutions** for the
lifecycle of batteries in electrified vehicles, paving the way for a circular economy
in the automotive industry through recycling and reuse.

## A great programme full of knowledge & innovation

The event kicked off with a welcome from Catherine Lenaerts of Febelauto and Kenny
Rits of Recupbat, and then offered exciting insights into the world of battery recycling:
participants visited the **new high-security storage facility for lithium-ion batteries**,
which is monitored 24/7 to ensure the safe storage of critical batteries. Niels 
Vandeput of Watt4Ever then explained the rigorous **diagnostic processes** that 
allow battery modules to be classified for reuse or recycling. A demonstration on
deep discharging of modules, led by Ruud Barnas of RecuPbat, showed how modern technology
can be used to achieve **safe discharges** down to 0 volts.

## Maximum safety in your yard – with the proven SafetyBATTbox XL Storage from LogBATT’s popular storage family for hazardous goods storage containers

LogBATT GmbH made a significant contribution to this event: Christian Wickel, Key
Account Manager at LogBATT GmbH, explained the **high safety requirements** for 
the transport of VHE batteries. As these batteries are classified as hazardous goods,
special packaging solutions are essential. LogBATT GmbH works together with Febelauto
to transport batteries **safely and efficiently** in specially developed “safety
boxes” to specialised recycling partners. LogBATT GmbH also presented one of the
most popular storage solutions for its customers, the SafetyBATTbox XL Storage, 
which stands out for its** high level of safety features** and efficiency. These
boxes comply with the most stringent legislation and contribute to the safety of
the entire recycling chain.

Another highlight was the **demonstration of the discharge process**, in which battery
modules are completely discharged to 0 volts in a controlled manner. The event concluded
with the opening of the new battery warehouse by Antwerp alderman Koen Kennis, with
the chairman of Febelauto emphasising the** importance of cooperation** for sustainable
battery management.
