Loman, iQ International AG CEO. \u201ciQ\u2019s executive management team and I are fortunate to have access to the wisdom and experience these gentlemen bring to the company as we grow to meet an ever-increasing industry demand.\u201d<\/p>\n As previously announced, iQ International AG is expanding its operations and integrating its technologies into existing manufacturing operations to secure capacity to meet the growing demand it is facing for batteries with its 360 Mixing™ technology. These three new members will join the Industry Advisory Board\u2019s chairman, Michael Tapp, who also serves as a member of the Company\u2019s Board of Directors, and they will be an integral part of iQ\u2019s integration process execution and oversight.<\/p>\n A growing market for SLI technology<\/strong><\/p>\n Demand for higher performance SLI batteries continues to accelerate. To comply with increasing environmental regulations mandating CO2 emission reductions, OEMs are utilizing start-stop, passive boost, and regenerative breaking technologies. In addition, consumer demand for cutting-edge infotainment\/comfort features and improved passenger safety requirements have led car manufacturers to install ever increasing numbers of electrical components in automobiles, significantly increasing the electrical load on auto batteries. iQ\u2019s 360\u00b0 Mixing™ batteries are replacing major known national brands, and iQ and its distributors have won significant tenders in the UAE and U.S. with government and private fleets. iQ\u2019s technologies are seamlessly integrated into the existing production processes and offer one of the most cost-effective ways to meet these increasing battery performance requirements.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are so excited about the growth opportunities for this market and to be able to do it in a way that will have a positive impact on the environment,\u201d said Roland Koch, member of iQ International\u2019s Board of Directors. \u201cOur goal is to increase our market share and help reduce the CO2 load that the transportation industry adds to the environment each year, helping car makers meet the stringent emissions reduction mandates.\u201d<\/p>\n It is estimated that by 2025, the market demand for Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) and Enhanced Flood Battery (EFB) with 360\u00b0 Mixing™ battery types will be 150-180 million annually, nearly 30% of the total market. iQ\u2019s EFB with 360\u00b0 Mixing™ matches or exceeds the performance of the more expensive and heavier AGM battery widely used and promoted by industry incumbents.<\/p>\n
