SAN FRANCISCO, CA and SHENZHEN, CHINA--(Marketwired - Jun 18, 2014) - Highpower International, Inc. (
Highpower manufactured the products for one of its branded customers with specific power requirements to power a wide variety of solar light products. The initial order is expected to be sold from Costco to customers directly. Highpower's nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries are ideal replacements for the traditional nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries in the solar lighting market because cadmium is a toxic heavy metal and is known to be damaging to the environment.
"We are delighted to have received an initial order from Costco, and are hopeful that this will lead to a new sales channel for our Company. Highpower is committed to developing and expanding long-lasting relationships with world-class customers such as Costco, which is a widely admired Fortune 100 company," commented Mr. Bryan Bai, Vice President of Sales at Highpower International. "This first trial order for solar light products is quite exciting because lighting is one of the key industrial applications for our products. We believe that larger retail and wholesale chains such as Costco will increasingly look towards selling environmentally friendly products to customers, and feel that this has lasting benefits to Highpower given our dedication to products that result in energy savings and pollution reduction. We believe that our green and environmentally friendly products will continue to experience increased demand."
