We're back from the 2026 BCI Battery Show in the U.S., safe and sound.

Every time we go to a show, presenting our products is part of the job. But what we look forward to even more — is seeing old friends we haven't met in a year.

On the first day of the show, right after we finished setting up the booth, long-time partners came by to say hello. The first thing they said was rarely "What's new in your product line?" — it was almost always "Long time no see. How have you been?"

We sat down, talked about market changes, shared what happened in our companies over the past year, and sometimes just chatted about life. These are moments that no video call can ever replace.

Besides old friends, we also met quite a few new faces — distributors, technical managers, and some rising stars in the industry. They stood in front of our samples, asking questions back and forth. Some came with specific technical questions; others just wanted to see our products in person.

This time, we didn't do any big promotions. We just had real conversations — answering questions, sharing experiences, and exchanging industry insights. After three days, our biggest takeaway is this: progress in this industry, at the end of the day, comes down to real connections and trust between people.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to see us and talk with us.

The show is over, but many conversations have just begun.

See you next time.
