Wallbox, a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging
and energy management solutions worldwide is accelerating its
partnership with Sonepar, the world’s leading B-to-B distributor of
electrical products, solutions, and related services with a
footprint spanning 40 countries, by closing their ninth local
partnership with Elektroskandia Sverige, a Sonepar Company, in
Sweden.
This partnership advances the energy transition by granting
installers access to cutting-edge, user-friendly, and efficient
charging solutions. The EV charging market is on an electrifying
trajectory, with growth figures reshaping the transportation
landscape. Sonepar and Wallbox established their partnership in
2022, and their joint efforts have since resulted in growth into
multiple countries, including the USA, Spain, Italy, Switzerland,
France, Canada, Austria, and the Netherlands.
Equipped with Wallbox’s extensive portfolio of AC and DC
electric vehicle charging and energy management solutions for
residential, commercial, and public segments - areas where Sonepar
is continuing to grow - the Group is enabling its customer base to
provide end-users with the necessary tools to deliver a
best-in-class EV charging experience, monitor energy consumption,
save costs, and operate in a more sustainable manner.
Artur Puzinas, International Market Director, Sonepar
stated, “Sonepar is uniquely positioned at the heart of the
electrical ecosystem, where transport plays a pivotal role in
accelerating the energy transition. Collaborating with eMobility
experts like Wallbox is paramount to driving this change. We
believe that Wallbox is aligned with the Group's ambitious and
strategic goal of becoming a key industry player, supporting an
agile and innovative energy transition.”
Douglas Alfaro, Chief Business Officer at Wallbox stated,
“There are a number of synergies between our two companies
including our shared global presence. Installers are key to the EV
transition, and in many markets play a crucial role in customers'
decision-making process. We are excited to continue to expand our
partnership with Sonepar to offer installers smart and efficient
charging solutions.”
Sonepar and Wallbox are committed to driving innovation and
sustainability within the electrical industry. Together, the
companies are well-positioned to help enable a greener and more
sustainable future for all.
