Local award winning battery company - Cell Pack Solutions is seeing positive results from their hard work in recent months with increased orders and new products being introduced.

The South Shields based company specialises in manufacturing custom-made batteries for industrial applications and also supplies the public with batteries for just about anything. Eddy Czestochowski, founder and managing directors said: "We have an excellent reputation for finding the right battery. As well as our specialist industrial web sites, we now run several dedicated e-commerce web sites selling batteries for digital cameras, video cameras, cordless phones, and general batteries for any application, the list is endless."

"It's not just about having the right battery, it's about customer service and a positive attitude, and we are proud of our 10 hard working staff. We employ local people and are passionate about what we here in the North East of England have achieved. Because of our dedicated people we are seeing increased orders from both industrial and online e-commerce retail markets, we now supply companies and individuals nation wide."

Because of the companies' expertise in custom manufacture and their first-class reputation for customer service, large international battery manufacturers such as Uniross and Sonnenschein have agreed long term main distributor status for Cell Pack Solutions further strengthening their market position.

The company has recently employed the services of two university undergraduates with the Inside Track placement scheme run by the Design Council and STEP (Shell Technology Enterprise Programme). They are applying their skills to take a critical look at the companies product design, manufacturing and on-line marketing techniques. Eddy said: " Graduates bring specialist up-to-date knowledge and help us to acquire new skills. Their input over the project has made a positive impact and we are adopting many of their recommendations. We did this last year and we are pleased to say, the young graduate who worked with us is now employed on a full time basis."

Cell Pack Solutions have won several awards for their e-commerce activities, the most recent was the winning place at the 2004 Local North East e-commerce awards celebrated at the awards ceremony in Newcastle in June this year.

Cell Pack Solutions continues to grow and in the next year will be further developing their product range and marketing activities.
