                    <description><![CDATA[During the Rheinmetall Industry Day, an important Memorandum of Understanding was signed between ISKRA Shipyard, 3. Maj Shipyard and Rheinmetall Naval Systems / NVL B.V., marking a significant step towards future cooperation in the naval and defence sector.
The Memorandum was signed by Roko Vuletić, PhD, CEO of ISKRA Shipyard and 3. Maj Shipyard, together with Alexander Singer and Detlef Schlichting from Rheinmetall Naval Systems / NVL B.V.
This agreement creates a foundation for future collaboration on projects related to the Croatian Navy, while also opening new opportunities in international markets through Rheinmetall’s global sales network.
The signed Memorandum reflects a shared commitment to strengthening Croatia’s shipbuilding capabilities and supporting the future development of the domestic defence industry. It also represents an important milestone following the recent acquisition of 3. Maj Shipyard by ISKRA Shipyard, further reinforcing the strategic vision to develop Croatian naval shipbuilding and deliver competitive, high-value solutions for the defence sector.
Through this partnership, ISKRA Shipyard and 3. Maj Shipyard continue to contribute to the development of Croatia’s industrial base, while supporting advanced naval programmes through strategic international cooperation.
We are proud to be part of this important step for the future of Croatian shipbuilding and look forward to the opportunities this cooperation will bring.

                    <description><![CDATA[Iskra opened its doors to visitors as part of our Open Day event. The event brought together people who wanted to learn more about our company, our work environment, our teams and the career opportunities currently available at Iskra.
The main purpose of the Open Day was to give visitors a closer and more personal look at who we are and what we do. Instead of only reading about Iskra from the outside, participants had the opportunity to experience the company atmosphere, meet our employees and gain a better understanding of different areas of our work.
During the event, visitors were introduced to Iskra’s activities, our working environment and the values that guide us as a company. They had the chance to speak directly with our team, ask questions and discover more about everyday work inside Iskra. This personal interaction is especially valuable, as it helps future candidates better understand not only the job itself, but also the people, culture and opportunities behind it.
A key part of the event was also the presentation of our current open positions. We shared information about the roles we are currently looking to fill, the profiles we are searching for and the opportunities available for those who would like to join our team. For visitors interested in building or continuing their career in industry, production, technology, development or other professional fields, the Open Day was a useful opportunity to learn more and connect with us directly.
At Iskra, we believe that successful recruitment begins with openness, communication and trust. Events like this allow us to present our company in a more transparent and approachable way, while also giving potential future colleagues the chance to see whether Iskra could be the right place for their next career step.
We are pleased that the event created space for meaningful conversations, new connections and valuable questions from visitors. It was a positive morning filled with interest, curiosity and a shared focus on future opportunities.
We would like to thank everyone who joined us and spent their Saturday morning at Iskra. We truly appreciate your interest in our company and in becoming part of our story.

                    <link>
                    http://www.iskra.eu/en/newsroom/From-Classroom-to-Shipyard/</link>
                    <description><![CDATA[

On 17 June 2026, our sister company 3. MAJ Shipyard welcomed students and professors from FH Oberösterreich – University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, School of Business and Management as part of their field study visit to Croatia.
The visit offered students a valuable opportunity to step beyond the classroom and experience the world of shipbuilding up close. During the tour, they were introduced to the unique environment of a working shipyard, gaining first-hand insight into shipbuilding operations, production processes, maritime tradition, and the complexity of industrial work.
As part of the programme, Mr. Klemen Šešok, CEO of Iskra Group, presented Iskra Group’s business philosophy, strategic direction, and vision for the future. His presentation opened an important discussion about modern industry, entrepreneurship, business development, and the role of young professionals in shaping the future of industrial sectors.
At Iskra Group, we believe that strong connections between education and industry are essential for inspiring future talent. Field visits such as this one give students the opportunity to better understand real business environments, while companies gain the chance to share knowledge, experience, and practical insight with the next generation of professionals.
The visit to 3. MAJ Shipyard was not only an introduction to shipbuilding, but also a meaningful exchange between academia and industry. It highlighted the importance of cooperation, knowledge sharing, and creating opportunities where students can see how theory becomes practice in real industrial settings.
We sincerely thank 3. MAJ Shipyard, FH Oberösterreich, Dr. Christopher Kanitz, and everyone involved in making this visit possible.
Together, we continue building bridges between education, industry, and future talent.

                    <link>
                    http://www.iskra.eu/en/newsroom/70-Years-of-Battery-Production-Tradition/</link>
                    <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;
A journey that began 40 years ago and became part of a much larger story. On June 10, 1986, Jože Rus walked through the doors of ZMAJ for his first working day. What started as the beginning of a professional career would grow into a remarkable journey spanning four decades of dedication, innovation, and development in battery production.
Today, as Director of PE Batteries, Jože's story is closely intertwined with the evolution of battery manufacturing in Šentvid pri Stični and the long-standing tradition of ZMAJ.
A Look Back Through the Archives
While revisiting historical editions of&nbsp;Glas Zmaja, Jože rediscovered articles documenting some of his earliest projects and experiences within the company. These archive pages provide a fascinating glimpse into the beginnings of a career that would later help shape important developments in battery production.
The rediscovered materials not only capture moments from Jože's early years but also preserve valuable pieces of the company's history.
One of the First Major Projects
Among the archived articles is documentation of one of Jože's first major assignments—the relocation of the alkaline battery production line.
At the time, projects such as these represented important steps in modernizing production and preparing the company for future growth. The relocation and commissioning of production equipment required technical expertise, teamwork, and a forward-looking approach that would become defining characteristics of Jože's career.
Driving Innovation Through Change
Beyond relocation projects, Jože played an important role in the automation of battery manufacturing processes.
Over the past four decades, he has witnessed the transformation of the industry—from traditional production methods to increasingly advanced manufacturing technologies. Throughout this journey, innovation, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing have remained key drivers of success.
More Than a Factory: 70 Years of ZMAJ in Šentvid pri Stični
Jože's anniversary coincides with another important milestone: 70 years of ZMAJ in Šentvid pri Stični.
For generations, the factory has been an important part of the local community, creating jobs, developing expertise, and contributing to industrial growth in the region. Historical records reveal that the site's industrial roots extend even further, making it a place where tradition, innovation, and community have been connected for decades.
A Legacy Built by People
Factories evolve. Technologies change. Production processes become more advanced.
Yet behind every innovation stand the people who make progress possible.
Jože's journey reflects the dedication, expertise, and commitment of generations of employees who have contributed to the development of ZMAJ and Iskra. His story serves as a reminder that lasting success is built not only through technology but also through the people who continuously strive to improve it.
As we celebrate 40 years of Jože's contribution and 70 years of ZMAJ in Šentvid pri Stični, we also celebrate the knowledge, perseverance, and passion that continue to drive our company forward.
Thank you, Jože, for 40 years of dedication, professionalism, and inspiration.

                    <link>
                    http://www.iskra.eu/en/newsroom/Iskra-at-Tek-trojk/</link>
                    <description><![CDATA[On 9 May, members of the Iskra team took part in the traditional Tek trojk – Pot ob žici 2026 event in Ljubljana, one of Slovenia’s most meaningful sports and recreational gatherings, bringing together movement, remembrance, community and team spirit.
More than just a day outdoors,&nbsp;Pot ob žici&nbsp;carries a strong historical and symbolic message. The event follows the route around Ljubljana that reminds us of the city’s past, while today bringing together thousands of people through movement, remembrance, connection and community spirit.
For Iskra, participation in this event is about much more than walking or running. It is about being together outside the workplace, strengthening relationships between colleagues, supporting well-being, and showing that strong teams are built not only through everyday work, but also through shared experiences.






From fresh air and sunny spring energy to laughter, encouragement and team spirit, the day reminded us how important it is to stay connected — with each other, with our local community and with the values that bring people together.
&nbsp;
The spirit of&nbsp;Tek trojk&nbsp;is especially meaningful: participants move as a team, support one another and reach the finish together. This idea reflects something we strongly believe in at Iskra — that progress is achieved through cooperation, trust and people who move forward together.
A big thank you to everyone from Iskra who participated and represented the company with such positive energy.
Together, we continue to build a workplace culture where connection, well-being and teamwork matter.

                    <link>
                    http://www.iskra.eu/en/newsroom/New-Chapter-Begins-for-3-Maj-Shipyard-Rijeka/</link>
                    <description><![CDATA[3. Maj Shipyard is entering a new chapter as part of Iskra Group — combining decades of shipbuilding heritage with a forward-looking vision focused on innovation, industrial excellence, and long-term development.
In March 2026, Iskra Shipyard officially signed an agreement for the acquisition of 3. Maj Rijeka 1905 shipyard in Croatia. The agreement was formally signed at the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Croatia, marking a significant strategic step in the further development of our industrial and shipbuilding capabilities.
This moment represents more than an acquisition.
It represents continuity.
A continuation of shipbuilding activity in Rijeka.
A continuation of industrial knowledge and craftsmanship.
And a continuation of a legacy that has shaped the region for decades.
As part of the transaction, shipbuilding activities will continue at the 3. Maj location, preserving an important industrial tradition while creating new opportunities for growth, modernization, and long-term development.
With the experience of Iskra Shipyard in complex refit, naval, and specialised vessel projects, we see strong potential in further developing large-scale programmes, strengthening competitiveness, and contributing to the future of the European maritime industry.
At the same time, this new chapter is also reflected through a renewed visual identity — one designed to honor the heritage of 3. Maj while looking confidently toward the future.
The new visual direction combines maritime tradition with a modern industrial vision:

the ship symbol represents strength, stability, and expertise,
the upward element symbolizes progress and future orientation,
while the refined and minimal visual language reflects confidence, precision, and long-term ambition.

Every shipyard carries a story.
A story of people, knowledge, hard work, and generations connected to the sea.
With responsibility and respect for that heritage, we look forward to building the future of 3. Maj Shipyard Rijeka together.
3. Maj Shipyard Rijeka
Built on heritage. Driven by progress.

                    <description><![CDATA[January has marked strong operational momentum for Iskra’s railway teams, with parallel project activities underway in both Slovenia and Turkey.
In&nbsp;Hoče and Bohova (Slovenia), on-site works continue despite winter conditions. Snow and low temperatures have not slowed progress, as our teams remain focused on delivering infrastructure upgrades that contribute to safer and more reliable railway operations.
At the same time, nearly 2,000 kilometers away, Iskra experts are commissioning&nbsp;wayside elements and Iskra interlocking system (spd IIrl30)&nbsp;at&nbsp;Kangal and Tecer stations in Turkey, in cooperation with our long-term partner,&nbsp;Turkish State Railways.
The implementation of interlocking systems plays a critical role in railway safety and operational efficiency. By ensuring secure control of train movements and signaling processes, Iskra’s solutions support modern, dependable rail transport networks designed for long-term performance.
Managing multiple projects across different countries — and under challenging winter site conditions — reflects the strength of Iskra’s engineering expertise, field coordination, and commitment to delivery excellence.
These activities represent more than individual milestones; they are part of a broader mission to modernize railway infrastructure and strengthen connectivity across regions.
As 2026 begins, Iskra continues to build forward — step by step, station by station — contributing to safer, smarter, and more reliable rail systems.

                    <link>
                    http://www.iskra.eu/en/newsroom/Iskra-Shipyard-hybrid-floating-dock/</link>
                    <description><![CDATA[Iskra Shipyard has signed a €30+ million contract to build a 115-meter hybrid floating dock—the largest single investment in its history. With a 4,000-ton lifting capacity, the new dock will expand its ability to service everything from large ferries to superyachts.
Iskra Shipyard has marked a major milestone in its long-term development strategy through the signing of a contract for the construction of a new&nbsp;hybrid floating dock, valued at&nbsp;over €30 million. The project is positioned as the shipyard’s largest single investment under its current development plan, reflecting a strategic commitment to strengthening ship repair and refit capability in the Adriatic region and beyond.
According to publicly shared information, the contract was signed in&nbsp;Varna&nbsp;and involves international collaboration across multiple countries and specialist organizations. The signing was carried out by&nbsp;Roko Vuletić, CEO of Iskra Shipyard in&nbsp;Šibenik, and&nbsp;Danail Slavov, General Director of&nbsp;TEREM-SHIPYARD Flotski Arsenal - VARNA LTD, where the dock is stated to be built. The design is attributed to&nbsp;Norden Ship Design House.













The published preliminary technical characteristics describe a floating dock with a&nbsp;total length of 115.0
m&nbsp;and pontoon length of&nbsp;110.0 m, an overall width of&nbsp;32.4 m&nbsp;and internal width of&nbsp;26.4 m, a height of&nbsp;12.4 m, and a maximum draft of&nbsp;11.4 m. The stated lifting capacity is&nbsp;4,000 tons. (Any additional specifications—such as pumping capacity, ballast system configuration, automation level, shore-power integration, or classification—are&nbsp;unspecified&nbsp;in the available material and should be confirmed in the official technical brief
before publication.)
The dock is also described as a hybrid solution built from&nbsp;reinforced marine concrete&nbsp;with&nbsp;steel side towers, with the goal of combining durability, longevity, and reduced maintenance needs. In parallel, the project narrative places emphasis on sustainability and long-term resilience—framing the dock as an investment intended not only to expand capacity, but to modernize infrastructure in line with evolving maritime expectations.
From an operational perspective, the dock is presented as enabling service for a wide spectrum of vessels. Public references indicate suitability ranging from large&nbsp;Jadrolinija&nbsp;ferries to yachts over 70 meters, with additional mentions linking the capability to future servicing potential for&nbsp;Croatian Navy&nbsp;corvettes. These references underline a strategic intent to support both commercial and public-sector maritime needs, though specific customer
commitments and use-case schedules should be treated as&nbsp;unspecified&nbsp;until confirmed through approved communications.
The hybrid dock investment is being framed as a platform for the future—an infrastructure step designed to raise ship repair and refit capability in the&nbsp;Adriatic Sea&nbsp;and the wider&nbsp;Mediterranean Sea&nbsp;maritime area. As next steps, Iskra Shipyard will align project execution milestones, partner coordination, and technical deliverables for full transparency in line with contractual and regulatory requirements.

                    <link>
                    http://www.iskra.eu/en/newsroom/dubrovnik_wastewater_treatment_system/</link>
                    <description><![CDATA[
  The Slovenian-Croatian consortium led by Iskra, which includes the Slovenian company Hidroinženiring, Dubrovnik-based firm Alfaplan, and Split’s Elmap, has been selected as the contractor for a key segment of the "Development of Water and Wastewater Infrastructure in Dubrovnik" project. The consortium will construct the Lapad wastewater treatment facility, including an underwater discharge system.


  The project involves building a secondary treatment wastewater facility with three main technological units: mechanical treatment, biological treatment, and sludge processing. The contractors will construct a new facility equipped with advanced systems, including coarse and fine grates, an aerated grit chamber, grease traps, and a membrane bioreactor. Additionally, a sludge treatment facility, a hydraulic tunnel approximately 350 meters long, and an
  835-meter-long underwater discharge system will be installed.


  "This is a vital step for Dubrovnik, a city that has long deserved a comprehensive water and wastewater infrastructure to significantly enhance environmental protection and manage wastewater effectively," said Lukša Matušić, Director of Vodovod Dubrovnik. "Congratulations to the Slovenian companies selected for this project. We look forward to successful collaboration."


  "We are pleased that the synergy between Iskra, Hidroinženiring, and our Croatian partners—Dubrovnik’s Alfaplan and Split’s Elmap, in which we acquired a majority stake earlier this year—was recognized through this tender," said Mr. Dušan Šešok. "The selection process was lengthy and thorough, but we met all high standards necessary for the construction of the treatment plant and sludge facility. Our partnership with Vodovod Dubrovnik represents a
  critical step forward, and we are excited that the new treatment plant will soon become an integral part of life for the people of Dubrovnik and their guests. Iskra has major ambitions in the water treatment sector, and this strategic project in Dubrovnik is essential for showcasing our group's commitment to timely and technically advanced project delivery."


  In February this year, Iskra, a provider of electrical and systems solutions based in Ljubljana, acquired a majority stake in Elmap from Split. Elmap is one of the leading companies in the region, specializing in automation solutions for wastewater and drinking water treatment plants, water supply systems, electric power, and infrastructure across various industries, from metallurgy and shipbuilding to pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, renewable
  energy, and the oil industry.


  The Dubrovnik wastewater treatment plant is designed to serve the long-term needs of the population and economy. Its planned capacity of 73,000 population equivalents (PE) considers future development and growth in tourism through to 2050. Dubrovnik’s Mayor, Mato Franković, noted that "Today marks a historic milestone in the realization of the Dubrovnik Agglomeration project."


  The project includes 40,256 meters of pipeline construction, reconstruction, and repair, enhancing water quality access for 78,716 consumers. The wastewater system expansion will cover 30,798 meters, adding 4,409 new users and increasing Dubrovnik’s wastewater coverage to 92 percent. Additionally, the initiative will feature the construction of the Ombla Drinking Water Treatment Plant and the Lapad Wastewater Treatment Plant.

  We are thrilled to share that Iskra has received a special recognition and gratitude from SIQ [Slovenian Institute of Quality and Metrology] for our long-standing collaboration.


  Our business journey with SIQ dates back to the institute's establishment, with Iskra being one of its founding partners oldest collaborators. The first measurements conducted by SIQ employees - who were then part of Iskra's R&amp;D department - were carried out on Iskra's products. Over all these years of collaboration, SIQ has issued more than 300 test reports and certifications, as well as several hundred calibration certificates, for our products.


  On behalf of Iskra, the award was accepted by Matija Šešok. We take the opportunity to thank SIQ for their trust over the years and look forward to continued success together.&nbsp;

  We are thrilled to announce that Iskra has been selected as one of the top 3 companies for the esteemed title of ESG Champion of Slovenia 2024!


  
  


  &nbsp;


  We were honored to receive a special recognition for our dedication to ESG development, as organized by Finance and Kearney. This recognition showcases our commitment to a sustainable future and inspires us to continue on this amazing journey even stronger.


  
  &nbsp;


  &nbsp;


  Once more we are proving that sustainability is not just a buzzword to us, but a guiding principle that shapes all our corporate decisions.


  &nbsp;


  We extend special congratulations to our leaders, who put tireless efforts in raising awareness of sustainability, both within the whole Iskra Group and also beyond. We also express our gratitude to the entire IskraTeam and all our employees whose contributions, large and small, play a crucial role in achieving our sustainable goals.


  &nbsp;


  At Iskra, we believe that only with a strong commitment to sustainable principles we can create a better planet for current and future generations.


  &nbsp;


  In addition to a crafted strategy for reducing carbon footprint and enhancing energy efficiency, we firmly intertwine our business success with fostering sustainable practices among our employees and the broader community.


  &nbsp;


  Our goal at Iskra is to significantly increase the use of energy derived from clean sources. In 2023 alone, we successfully reduced emissions across all three scopes by 830 tons, representing over a 10% reduction from the previous year, despite experiencing company growth. This reduction was achieved through waste reduction, lower energy consumption, and additional investments in battery storage systems, PV systems, and new energy-efficient machinery.


  


  The R&amp;D departments in Iskra are intensively engaged in the development of products with a sustainable purpose, such as Smart energy meters that enable the end user to analyze energy consumption for the best possible efficiency, and Smart gateways that enable the control of various energy consumers to predetermined settings, or pulses from sensors.


  &nbsp;


  &nbsp;


  Furthermore, our commitment to sustainability extends to our acquisition endeavors, with our latest acquisition of leading Croatian wastewater treatment company, Elmap -&nbsp;based in Split.


  &nbsp;


  As we celebrate this achievement, we invite all our business partners as well as end customers to join us on this journey. With joint forces, we can create better future for all.

                    <description><![CDATA[
  We are proud to announce that&nbsp;Iskra&nbsp;has become the majority owner of Elmap, a company located in Split - Croatia, which is one of the leading companies in the region specialized in the automation of wastewater and drinking water treatment, as well as, water supply systems, electroenergetics, and infrastructure systems across various industries.


  This is third significant investment for the Iskra Group in Croatia, following the acquisition of Šibenik Shipyard (now Iskra Shipyard) in 2019, and the acquisition of cable manufacturer ELKA in Zagreb in 2021. As expected, both companies are operating positively and achieving excellent results.


  Iskra director and majority owner&nbsp;Dušan Šešok mentions that “Iskra continues to invest in research and development of new products to implement new technologies and innovative solutions. The acquisition of Elmap by the Iskra Group aligns with Iskra's strategy to further strengthen its position in the wastewater and drinking water purification technology segment, where Iskra already has a significant presence in regional markets.“


  Beside key sector operations, including automation of devices for wastewater and drinking water treatment, and water supply and drainage, Elmap will within the Iskra Group continue to develop as a leader in equipping and modernizing signaling, lighting, monitoring, and control systems in airports and other infrastructure facilities.

  We had an incredible business event Iskra Power Day in Slovenia, which brought together our partners from around the globe.&nbsp;


  DAY 1&nbsp;#IskraPowerDay&nbsp;


  On the first day, we had the pleasure of enjoying the stunning beauty of Lake Bled&nbsp;with our partners as we took a boat ride to the island and the magical castle. Later in the evening, we gathered for dinner to share stories and experiences, all while taking in the magnificent lakeside view.&nbsp;


  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;


  DAY 2&nbsp;#IskraPowerDay&nbsp;
  
  Unveiling the latest innovations related to sustainability, EV, and transition to Renewable Energy&nbsp;at Brdo Congress Centre – followed by dynamic presentations from the Iskra&nbsp;board, industry experts, and engineers, with time for networking and product demonstrations.


  &nbsp;&nbsp;


  Our agenda was carefully curated to explore various industry topics, offering participants a unique opportunity to engage in the sessions. We also took the opportunity to present the latest developments at Iskra, sharing news, showcasing ongoing activities, and highlighting our strategic steps for the future.


  It is worth mentioning that we had the privilege to unite with over 60 of our esteemed partners from all over the world.


  &nbsp;&nbsp;


  We concluded the conference with an engaging Q&amp;A session, led by our General Manager&nbsp;David, who sparked a dynamic discussion. Following this, we toured our Iskra Kranj&nbsp;factory, bringing our two-day gathering to a close.
  
  On behalf of the entire&nbsp;#IskraTeam, we want to thank all of you who were part of such an important event for us. We hope you enjoyed the prepared agenda and found it informative and useful for future joint activities.
  
  Thank you all, until next time!&nbsp;

  Donation of low-voltage switchgear and measuring equipment for educational purposes and students' final assignments in School Center Kranj.


  Iskra donated samples that will be used to make and supplement didactic teaching aids. Students will learn about the fundamental laws of energy and electronics through the functionality of products and management methods.


  The fact that the products were created by their predecessors from their desks gives students an additional incentive to acquire new knowledge. Good luck!

  SAR1&nbsp;by&nbsp;Iskra Shipyard, the first in a series of boats for emergency medical intervention at sea, was officially handed over to the Croatian Ministry of Health.&nbsp;
  
  The SAR1 (Search and Rescue boat) first underwent rigorous testing to ensure it was structurally flawless and could withstand even the harshest sea conditions. A set of complex tests includes the boat's resistance to a free fall from a height of two meters, the resistance of the boat's hull to the impact of the bow on a solid shore at a speed of 4 knots, and a test of the boat's independent return to its initial position after turning sideways by 180 degrees.
  
  While testing the boat's resistance to a 180-degree side roll, the Self-Righting test, Iskra Shipyard Director Dr.&nbsp;Aleš Ekar&nbsp;personally entered the boat's cabin. This demonstrated his trust in the expertise and ability of the designers and shipbuilders who built the SAR1 at our shipyard in Šibenik, Croatia.

  “Digitization is rapidly changing the ways of energy management,” says Boris Šajnović, Head of Project Management at Iskra. “Improving energy efficiency, for example, would contribute enormously to the reduction of global energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the construction sector and e-mobility.”


  With solutions dotted around all continents of the globe, we boast a plethora of achievements, including the German Eichrecht standard compliance, enabling a more transparent measurement and billing of energy from charging stations to electric vehicles.


  Iskra develops innovative and Eichrecht-compliant&nbsp;Smart Energy Meters,&nbsp;specially designed for EV charging stations, which boast state-of-the-art features for the EV charging community such as a more compact design over rivals and smart connectivity to improve the use and delivery of energy.


  Slovenia’s global reputation for its green economy, innovative thinking, and environmental technology has positioned it as a front-runner in the development of modern solutions for problems that affect us all.&nbsp;We are glad to be part of the campaign GREEN.CREATIVE.SMART, led by SPIRIT Slovenia, in a way we work together to foster an environment for sustainable business.

  After collecting all the impressions from Messe Frankfurt, we can say that it was once again a fantastic show. Many thanks to all business partners and visitors who stopped by our stand. Also, endless thanks to the entire&nbsp;#IskraTeam&nbsp;for their engagement before and during the fair. We presented our smart products &amp; solutions, as well as our Eichrecht-compliant smart energy meter&nbsp;for EV chargers.&nbsp;But that's not all! We exclusively presented
  the newest member of our portfolio, the wall-mounted Iskra EV charger, which was a real attraction.


  Massive interest in our portfolio is the result of the great commitment that we all put in every day.
  
  Thank you&nbsp;Light + Building, see you again!&nbsp;
