BUNCKER
When Safety is Non-Negotiable
BUNCKER® is a Dutch Technology & Engineering Consortium specialising in the development of integrated safety technologies for the safe handling, storage and transportation of lithium batteries.
BUNCKER® is a strategic partnership between VDL Group, BERLIN Packaging and Lithium Safety Solutions B.V., bringing together industrial manufacturing, engineering, product design, certification expertise and operational know-how. This unique combination enables BUNCKER® to develop innovative solutions supporting the complete lifecycle of lithium batteries — from manufacturing and storage to transportation, maintenance, incident response and recycling.
The global energy transition, rapid electrification and the widespread adoption of battery technologies have introduced new and increasingly complex safety challenges. BUNCKER® enables organisations to address these challenges through innovative, intelligent and user-friendly solutions that combine safety, reliability and operational efficiency. Our focus extends beyond the product itself to the people who use it, the applications in which it operates and the safe execution of daily operations.
Our strength lies in co-creation. Working closely with our customers, we analyse operational challenges and translate them into smart, future-ready solutions. From the earliest concept stage onwards, engineering, industrial design, safety expertise, ergonomics and advanced manufacturing work together to create products that are technically outstanding while remaining practical, intuitive and reliable in everyday use.
Every BUNCKER® product is designed, engineered and manufactured entirely in the Netherlands. This European manufacturing platform ensures exceptional quality, secure and transparent supply chains, reliable availability and compliance with the increasing demand for European-made products in defence, government and industrial markets.
Innovation drives everything we do. Our products originate from real operational challenges faced by customers in the defence, security, automotive, energy storage, industrial, logistics and recycling sectors. By actively involving end users throughout the development process, we create solutions that not only comply with applicable national and international regulations and standards but also deliver maximum value in daily operations.
Safety is our fundamental design principle. Every BUNCKER® product is independently tested and certified by recognised certification bodies, providing customers with proven performance, consistent quality and full compliance with international regulations governing the storage, handling and transportation of lithium batteries.
The innovative character of BUNCKER® products has received international recognition through prestigious awards, including the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award. These achievements demonstrate that safety, functionality, sustainability and industrial design can successfully coexist in one integrated solution.
Our ambition extends far beyond manufacturing products. BUNCKER® aims to become Europe's leading technology partner for organisations working with lithium batteries and advanced energy storage systems. Through continuous investment in innovation, engineering, strategic partnerships and industrial manufacturing, we are developing the next generation of safety solutions that contribute to a safer, more sustainable and future-proof energy transition.
