A global battery pack manufacturer headquartered in Peterlee has achieved ISO 45001 certification.
The globally recognised standard reinforces Alexander Battery Technologies’ commitment to health and safety while delivering high-quality solutions to customers worldwide and supporting future growth.
This certification comes as ABT builds on over 40 years of manufacturing excellence across the UK and abroad. With more than 15 million battery products delivered globally, the company has proven its ability to scale operations to meet demand, including ramping up production to nearly 300% during the Covid 19 pandemic. By embedding safety and efficiency into its operations, the manufacturer remains a trusted partner for industries such as medical devices, robotics, eVTOL and industrial power tools.
As the company continues its growth trajectory, it’s on track to reach £20M+ in revenue by 2026 and is targeting £30M in 2028, driven by ongoing investments, an expanding team and long-term projects that provide sustained revenue.
Mark Rutherford, Chief Executive Officer at Alexander Battery Technologies, said: “This certification is a key milestone for our business. It not only demonstrates our commitment to a safe, supportive workplace for our team but also positions us to meet the growing demands of our customers. Safety and quality are at the heart of what we do, and this investment strengthens our capability to scale and innovate in line with future opportunities.”
ABT’s recent investments in safety and training demonstrate its practical approach to improvement. An intensive IEC 61508 Functional Safety course equipped engineers with advanced knowledge to embed safety principles across products and processes. This aligns directly with ISO 45001’s framework and supports the manufacturer’s ability to operate confidently in high-stakes markets.
Rutherford adds: “We’re focused on expanding our workforce, pursuing additional international standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 27001 by 2025 as we continue to enhance our reputation as a partner of choice for global OEMs. Achieving ISO 45001 reinforces our position as a forward-thinking manufacturer and sets a strong example for other businesses both nationally and internationally.”
