Advantelec, established in 2011 and headquartered in Vénissieux, France, provides customized electronic systems and lithium-ion battery solutions for professional markets. The company balances European quality standards with efficient Asian manufacturing through its French headquarters and subsidiary in China. Since its initial foundation, it has served industries ranging from industrial equipment to medical technology, offering tailored battery designs, electronic assemblies, and supply chain optimization.
Advantelec distinguishes itself through its commitment to delivering high-quality products at competitive costs while maintaining rapid response times and agile production cycles. This approach underscores its mission to collaborate with clients “Advance Together” from design conception to delivery. Certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards, the business prioritizes quality throughout its supply chain, including rigorous audits of Asian partners to align with European environmental and labor standards.
The company operates two production facilities, each with a 15 MWh annual capacity. Its Lyon-based production line, launched in 2023, focuses on advanced battery assembly for European clients, while its Chinese hub offers cost-effective mass manufacturing. A 2024 expansion plan involved launching a pilot line for in-house cell production, further reducing reliance on third-party cells.
Battery Technology
Advantelec’s core expertise lies in creating specialized lithium-ion batteries under its ADV-POWER® brand. These batteries are engineered to precise specifications, using chemistries like NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) and LCO (Lithium Cobalt Oxide) to balance energy density, safety, and longevity. Their design teams optimize cells for sectors such as medical devices, industrial automation, and smart tools, ensuring compatibility with client-specific requirements like thermal tolerance or charging cycles.
The company manages the full battery lifecycle, from sourcing cells through vetted manufacturers (such as CATL or Amperex Technology) to assembling custom packs. A 2023 French plant enables custom assembly of cells into packs, while upcoming internal production goals aim to vertically integrate cell manufacturing. By 2024, Advantelec established a pilot cell production line in France, reducing dependence on imports and enabling faster prototyping.
Collaborations with innovators in Japan support material advancements, such as optimizing cathode formulations to improve recycled material use and fire resistance. These efforts are integrated into product lines like medical-grade batteries requiring strict reliability or rugged batteries for UAV systems. The result is a product lineup that meets IEC, EN, and UN safety certifications, balancing quality with scalability.
Recent Projects
In 2024, Advantelec marked a major milestone by launching a pilot production line in Lyon to manufacture ADV-POWER® branded cells, reducing reliance on external suppliers and enhancing design flexibility. Concurrently, its 2023 R&D facility permitted full cycle production of custom battery packs for clients in UAVs and medical instrumentation. Notable engagements include supplying lightweight, high-density batteries for European medical device manufacturers and collaborating with tech firms on smart tools requiring long-cycle lifespans.
Internationally, the company expanded its client base by securing partnerships in energy storage for French utilities and designing IoT device power systems for U.S. manufacturers. Its 2024 focus on sustainable practices included sourcing cathode materials innovations from Japanese collaborators to align with EU battery regulation compliance, ensuring lower resource consumption and higher recyclability.
