VARTA CR2025 coin cell batteries

Varta is an iconic German energy brand with a heritage tracing back to 1887. While originally a single entity under the Quandt family, the company was split into several divisions over the decades. The consumer battery division, which produces the CR2025 coin cells seen in the image, is a global leader in the household battery market.

Today, VARTA AG (the manufacturer of these consumer products) is headquartered in Germany; however, its ownership and distribution structure are multifaceted. Following various corporate restructurings, VARTA AG is a publicly traded company on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. While it maintains significant high-tech manufacturing in Germany (particularly for micro-batteries), many of its standard consumer lithium coin cells like the CR2025 are produced in specialized facilities in Asia (primarily China or Indonesia) to meet global demand, adhering to strict German engineering standards.
