Centra Batteries Logo 1920s-1990s

The Centra Batteries brand first appeared in Poland in 1925.

During the early years the brand was associated with dry-cell batteries commonly used in flash lights, toys and portable radios.

In the 1970s after a merger with Poznańskie Zakłady Elektryczne Alco, the company manufactured auto batteries, sold under the Centra name.

Centra was purchased by Exide in 1995 and is now owned by the European based Exide Technologies.

Today made in a modern factory in Poznan, Poland, Centra remains a respected brand of light & commercial vehicle batteries throughout Eastern Europe.
