sunlight-group-acquires-100%-of-triathlon-holding

Following the initial agreement for the acquisition of 51% of Triathlon by Sunlight, the two organizations unify into one Group and sector champion

ATHENS, Greece, and MUNICH, Germany, July 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Sunlight Group Energy Storage Systems (Sunlight Group), member of Olympia Group and global technology company specializing in innovative industrial mobility batteries for the intralogistics sector and Energy Storage Systems for renewables, announces it has acquired 100% of the share capital of its subsidiary Triathlon Holding GmbH (Triathlon). 

The agreement follows the acquisition of 51% of Triathlon announced at the beginning of 2023 that entailed the autonomous commercial operation of the two companies, as well as the exploration and leveraging of synergies. The holding of 100% of Triathlon has the potential to maximize said synergies much faster for the benefit of customers, shareholders, stakeholders and the more than 3,200 employees of Sunlight Group.  

More specifically, the unified and significantly strengthened Sunlight Group can now utilize its joint assets and resources to become an industry champion and make the most of available opportunities arising – in both industrial mobility batteries and the rapidly growing sector of energy storage for renewables, on which the company places a strong focus. 

The acquisition agreement will also optimize the production facilities operated around the world under a single Management Team, enabling better service for clients regardless of their location or customer base. Furthermore, it will accelerate innovation in the critical sector of lithium-ion technology, where Sunlight Group has strong capabilities and invests significant resources to develop even further.

The management of the unified Group is also strengthened in the context of the agreement, as the founder and Managing Director of Triathlon Group, Martin Hartmann, becomes a minority shareholder at Sunlight Group and member of its Board of Directors. Mr. Hartmann will also undertake a key leadership role in Sunlight’s Management Team as the new Group Chief Commercial Officer for industrial mobility, reporting directly to the Sunlight Group CEO, Lampros Bisalas.  

Commenting on the developments, Gordon Riske, Chairman of the Sunlight Group Board of Directors, stated: “On behalf of the BoD, I’d like to welcome Martin Hartmann to the team. I’m certain that he will make a great contribution with his invaluable experience and expertise and we’re looking forward to working with him, aiming for the optimal growth of Sunlight Group on all levels.”   

Lampros Bisalas, CEO of Sunlight Group and Executive BoD member, added: “I’m thrilled that a collaboration going back 20+ years is concluded in the best possible way. Martin’s wealth of experience in our sector, and indeed in markets very important for us, is priceless. There are only gains to reap from our One Group vision, destined to lead in the sectors we’re active.” 

Martin Hartmann said about this new chapter at Sunlight Group: “I’d like to wholeheartedly thank Sunlight Group for this warm welcome. I can’t wait to meet all the members of the team and offer my best from my new position to support our customers and employees.” 

The unified Sunlight Group is set to pursue a global leadership role in its sectors, mainly focusing on the European and US markets where it operates a total of 15 production units. The organization will build on its extensive investments, as well as scalable production and innovation capabilities in both lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries, contributing to decarbonization, energy transition and security. And lastly, the new set-up significantly advances the company’s position to pursue its ambitions for the establishment, on European soil, of a 20 GWh Gigafactory producing lithium-ion battery cells, exclusively for the industrial mobility and Energy Storage Systems sectors.

Introducing Adyen Uplift: The payment solution optimizing every transaction with AI

Published

on

introducing-adyen-uplift:-the-payment-solution-optimizing-every-transaction-with-ai
  • Piloted by 60 enterprise businesses including: Patagonia, On, Indeed, NordSecurity and Fubo
  • AI helps businesses increase payment conversion rates by up to 6% compared to legacy implementations

NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Adyen, the global financial technology platform of choice for leading businesses, announces the launch of Adyen Uplift. The AI-powered payment optimization suite will help businesses increase payment conversion, simplify fraud management, and reduce the cost of payments. Adyen’s customers can utilize data-driven, tailored performance recommendations and opportunities to test different payment configurations to maximize performance.

Saving businesses from trading off between conversion, risk, and cost

The complexity of payment management still holds businesses back from reaching their ambitions. They constantly need to compromise between conversion, fraud, and cost. Thanks to Adyen Uplift, businesses can optimize the full payments funnel with AI. AI-powered payment optimizations bundled in a single product suite are trained on Adyen’s global transaction dataset. Rather than navigating the complexity of payments in operational silos, the AI-first approach uses risk-based intelligence and automated conversion optimization to help businesses get more out of payments. The pilot has shown a significant effect on profits, with businesses seeing an overall uplift of up to 6% on their payment conversion rate.

“Balancing risk management, driving conversion, and minimizing cost has always required ineffective compromises – until now” said Carlo Bruno, VP of Product at Adyen. “Adyen Uplift changes the game by unleashing the depth and power of AI to solve for real-time payment optimization. This will transform cost savings and performance, redefining business efficiency in 2025 and beyond.”

$1 trillion+ payments data

Businesses and other providers rely on limited datasets, impacting their ability to recognize shoppers and payment behavior. With Adyen Uplift, companies benefit from AI trained on over a trillion dollars worth of global payments data from Adyen’s single platform.

“We’ve increased our conversion rate by up to 2% with Adyen’s AI, making a real difference to both our performance and cost efficiency, while keeping fraud under control,” commented Luca Spichtig, Head of Digital Operations & Projects at On.

Adyen has processed payments for over one billion consumers globally, giving its AI solutions a strong basis to differentiate good shoppers from fraudsters. When an Adyen customer encounters a new shopper, there is a high likelihood that Adyen has seen the shopper elsewhere on the platform. For a retail merchant on the Adyen platform, there is more than a 90% chance that Adyen has seen that shopper before. When a good shopper is identified, AI optimizations allow them to speed through checkout whilst shoppers and retailers also benefit from precise payment fraud mitigation.

“We’ve increased our conversion rate on customer initiated transactions by 10% by leveraging Adyen’s AI technology, which optimizes the entire payment funnel while maintaining control over fraud and costs,” commented Kes Saulis, Head of Payments at Nord Security.

The AI-first approach to fighting fraud

Today, the fraud control process is highly complex, requiring businesses to implement extensive manual rules to combat ever-evolving fraud techniques. With Adyen Uplift, businesses can automate fraud control by removing the operational burden from fraud management teams. The solution automates and refines risk management without relying on manual rules. This enables businesses to lower fraud levels and reduce false positives, depending on their risk appetite.

Businesses piloting the risk product have seen the impact firsthand. Adyen’s pilot enterprise customers have reduced their manual risk rules by 86% on average, and 35% of customers have completely eliminated manual rules saving valuable time and resources. 

Adyen’s customer Indeed, a leading job matching and hiring platform, was able to run AI-based optimization experiments that are tailored to the unique characteristics of its business. This translated into a reduction in operational workload by automating processes to drive efficiency.

Reduce payment processing costs by up to 5%

Today, businesses are more focused than ever on their bottom line, yet many still view payments as a commodity rather than a powerful cost-saving strategy.

Adyen Uplift has reduced payment cost by up to 5% for pilot customers in the U.S. Adyen’s AI selects the best routes with the best rates for transactions to help minimize total cost of payment. Pilot customers also experienced cost savings through Adyen’s optimizations, which tailored the shopper-facing checkout flow to their needs.
