Capabilities built for real partnerships.

We combine deep technical expertise, strong intellectual property and in-house execution to support customers from early concept through validation and toward series production. Our model is designed for transparency, speed and measurable results.

Technology & Intellectual Property

Strong IP foundation for long-term advantage.

Our polymer direct-contact BTMS architecture is protected by a growing portfolio of patents covering tube design, manifold systems, flow control and safety integration. This allows us to deliver differentiated performance while giving partners confidence in technology exclusivity and future roadmap continuity.

Engineering & Simulation

Precision engineering backed by extensive cell knowledge.

We maintain an active database of 500+ battery cell types and combine advanced CAE (CFD + FEA) with practical experience from real customer programs. Our engineering approach prioritizes thermal uniformity, pressure drop optimization, mechanical robustness and integration feasibility from the earliest stages.

Prototyping & Validation

Real hardware, rapid iteration.

All critical prototypes are manufactured and tested in our own prototype workshop. This vertical control enables short iteration cycles, full traceability and thorough validation under relevant conditions (pressure, thermal cycling, vibration and leak testing). We deliver functional hardware that can be integrated and evaluated quickly by customer teams.

Manufacturing & Scale-up

Controlled path from prototype to series readiness.

We deliberately invest in in-house manufacturing capabilities for key components to maintain quality, protect IP and enable faster response. Our approach focuses on process robustness, quality systems (ISO 9001, TISAX) and scalable methods that support the transition from low-volume validation to higher production rates.

Qoolers Culture

At Qoolers, we believe in creating a vibrant, innovative atmosphere where every team member’s voice is valued and creativity flourishes.

Vision

To become a leading European provider of advanced polymer Battery Thermal Management Systems that enable safer, lighter and higher-performance electrified mobility and energy storage.

Mission

We develop, validate and manufacture polymer-based thermal solutions that deliver measurable improvements in weight, thermal uniformity, safety and recyclability — working as a trusted technology partner for OEMs, Tier-1s and system integrators.

Three strategic priorities

Where we are heading

Qoolers is transitioning from validated technology and active customer programs to long-term industrial partnership. Our priorities for the coming years are clear, measurable and grounded in real hardware progress.

Series-production readiness

We are focused on advancing selected BTMS platforms from C-samples to series-production readiness together with key OEM and Tier-1 partners. This includes process industrialization, quality systems reinforcement and scalable manufacturing methods while maintaining full control over critical intellectual property.

Technology portfolio expansion

We continue to develop and validate the next generation of polymer-based solutions — covering cylindrical, prismatic and pouch formats as well as immersion concepts. The goal is to offer partners a broader, future-proof thermal management portfolio built on the same core principles: low weight, direct cell contact, thermal uniformity and high recyclability.

Operational strength

We are deliberately strengthening in-house prototyping, validation and manufacturing capabilities. This vertical integration allows faster iteration, higher quality control, stronger IP protection and the ability to support customers reliably as volumes grow.

Our ambition is to become a preferred European technology partner for companies developing next-generation high-energy-density battery systems in automotive, aerospace and stationary energy storage — delivering real performance advantages, not just concepts.

History of qoolers
