Treet Group CFO Amir Zia highlighted the potential impact of the battery project on the company’s business along with financing arrangements made by the company.

“The battery business will be part of Treet’s tax-efficient manufacturing vehicle - First Treet Manufacturing Modaraba,” he said.

The plant’s manufacturing facilities are almost complete and the plant will start trial production from October onwards. Subsequent to results of the trial production, the plant is expected to start regular production in second half of the current financial year.

“The plant, a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility spread over 40 acres, is the result of Rs6 billion investment from Treet Corporation,” Zia said, adding Treet would manufacture maintenance-free and deep-cycle batteries under the brand name of Daewoo in Pakistan. “These batteries are easy to install, require no filling and have a longer operating life than the standard fillable batteries,” he said.
