German parts supplier Benteler is establishing a new brand – Holon – which will focus on fully electric, autonomous movers.
The move is also a change of name for the Benteler EV Systems business unit, which was spun off at the end of 2021.

Benteler Group Chief Executive Officer Ralf Göttel said: “Mobility around the world is undergoing rapid change. Benteler is optimally prepared for this – 85 per cent of our products are independent of the type of drive. In parallel with the traditional automotive business, innovative, digitally connected, and autonomous mobility services promise high growth in the coming years. With our engineering and manufacturing expertise, we are predestined to fill a gap in this hitherto strongly software-dominated field. By founding Holon, an independent legal entity, we can react flexibly to changing customer requirements in this dynamic market. In this way, we will make the best possible use of growth opportunities.”
The term Holon comes from the Greek language and means “something that is both a whole and a part of a whole”. The company also says the future orientation of the brand is also reflected in the new brand’s slogan: Holon – Established Tomorrow.
