Battery-News is becoming part of the newly independent PEM Share GmbH. The new company combines trade media with training, events, and a network spanning industry, research, and startups. For readers, that should mean one thing above all: more context, more real-world relevance, and new formats — while journalistic standards remain unchanged.
Readers of Battery-News will continue to get reliable news from the battery industry. What’s new, above all, is what’s growing behind the editorial team: PEM Share is building an environment where technical expertise, industrial experience, training, and industry contacts come together more closely. Battery-News remains the media foundation of that environment — but will be able to move beyond spot news more often, providing deeper context on industry developments. For the editorial team, that’s the next step: Battery-News is professionalizing further, without changing its editorial core.
PEM Share GmbH is being established as an independent company as part of the broader restructuring of the former PEM Motion ecosystem. Its focus is on knowledge transfer, professional development, media, and networking. Alongside Battery-News, its portfolio includes the Battery Production Days and the E-Mobility Production Awards.
In short: what stays — and what’s new
What stays: Battery-News continues to report as a journalistic industry platform covering companies, technologies, markets, and regulatory developments.
What’s new: Broader access to technical expertise, industrial practice, and additional sources.
What will expand: Analysis, interviews, project reports, and multimedia and interactive formats.
What remains non-negotiable: A clear separation between corporate interests, expert assessments, and editorially verified facts.
More than another news item
The battery industry isn’t just producing more innovations — it’s also generating more information. New production technologies, regulatory requirements, battery safety questions, European supply chains, and new cell and storage concepts are all evolving in parallel. For industry professionals and decision-makers, simply knowing that something happened is increasingly not enough. What matters is understanding what a given development means technically, economically, and from a regulatory standpoint.
That’s exactly where Battery-News plans to focus more going forward. Through the PEM Share network, the editorial team can draw on experts, companies, research institutions, and emerging technology providers. That access is especially useful for topics that can’t be assessed based on corporate announcements or market data alone, but require additional technical and industrial context.
The plan is to supplement current news more often with background knowledge and application-focused perspectives. That includes in-depth analyses of technologies and production processes, context on regulatory and economic developments, conversations with experts, and reports from development and industrialization projects. Content related to training sessions, trade events, and industry gatherings will also be more closely connected.
Knowledge transfer in both directions
The connection between media, training, and network is not a one-way street. Questions that surface in Battery-News’ coverage can spark ideas for training sessions and expert discussions. Conversely, discussions from events or industrial projects can point to topics that have so far received too little attention in public industry communication.
“The battery industry doesn’t need more information — it needs better context. At PEM Share, we combine technical know-how, industrial practice, and industry communication, turning news into knowledge that actually helps companies move forward,” says Christoph Lienemann, managing director and shareholder of PEM Share GmbH.
Clear roles, shared expertise
As part of the new PEM Group structure, PEM Share will concentrate on knowledge, media, professional development, and networking. PEM Volterra handles battery testing, analysis, compliance, and market access, while the new PEM Motion oversees industrial development and innovation projects. WLF Energy, which now houses the former Battery Management Systems business unit, is also part of the expanded partner network.
PEM Share is backed by Christoph Lienemann, Sebastian Küster, Prof. Achim Kampker, and Dr.-Ing. Christoph Deutskens as shareholders, with Prof. Heiner Heimes serving as an advisory board member. These experts and industry veterans bring together experience from research, industrial implementation, training, and industry communication. Their combined perspectives help not only track developments, but also make sense of them for the industry in clear, practical terms.
The Battery-News editorial team itself remains unchanged. This seasoned team continues to bring its journalistic experience and industry expertise to the table — with plans to keep growing in the years ahead.
