Nefab provides packaging solutions for lithium-ion batteries (LiB) across the e-mobility supply chain, while also supporting connected automotive and truck component flows.
We develop packaging solutions for the full LiB value chain, from inbound battery materials and battery cells to modules, packs, and end-of-life batteries. Our solutions are designed to support dangerous goods (DG) compliance, controlled handling, and transport stability across highly regulated battery flows.
We provide packaging solutions for automotive components used in e-mobility supply chains. Our packaging is designed to protect components, improve handling, and support efficient production, assembly, and transport flows. From body parts and interiors to chassis, drive units, suspension, steering, and brakes, our solutions are tailored to component-specific handling and logistics requirements.
We provide packaging solutions for truck components built to handle larger dimensions, heavier weights, and demanding transport conditions. From structural parts to critical functional systems, our solutions support load stability, safe handling, and reliable performance across heavy-duty supply chains.
Electrification is reshaping global supply chains, and lithium-ion batteries are at the center of that shift. As demand grows, so do the requirements for safe handling, dangerous goods compliance, and efficient logistics.
Since 2009, Nefab has provided transport packaging and logistics solutions for lithium-ion batteries (LiB). We combine deep LiB expertise with experience in connected automotive and truck supply chains to help customers improve product protection, manage compliance, streamline logistics, and reduce environmental impact.
Key challenges we help address:
Certified packaging solutions, including dangerous goods packaging, designed to support safety and compliance with international transport requirements.
Low-carbon, waste-minimizing packaging designed for optimal product fit, material efficiency, and improved logistics flow.
Backed by 35 UN-approved manufacturing sites, Nefab has supported global lithium-ion battery supply chains since 2009 with reliable service and packaging expertise.
By replacing heavy steel pallets and a complex repacking process with a unified hybrid packaging design, a major automotive supplier eliminated packaging bottlenecks and improved logistics efficiency.
A leading electric vehicle (EV) and clean energy company needed a safer way to ship its latest battery packs. Nefab partnered with them to engineer packaging that meets their strict sustainability and safety standards.
From small battery cells and large battery packs to spare parts, sensitive electronic assemblies, and structural vehicle components, our packaging solutions are designed to support product protection, safe handling, and efficient logistics across the e-mobility supply chain.
The LiB value chain requires packaging solutions that can meet strict technical and regulatory demands at every stage. From inbound materials and battery cells to modules, packs, and end-of-life batteries, packaging must support dangerous goods compliance, transport stability, and controlled handling in highly regulated production and logistics environments.
Factors such as cleanliness, contamination control, moisture sensitivity, ESD protection, and dimensional consistency are especially critical in automated and semi-automated operations. Nefab develops packaging solutions for LiB applications that help customers manage these requirements across the full battery lifecycle.
Typical applications include:
A tailor-made packaging solution combining a foldable thermoformed tray with a UN-certified corrugated box, designed for battery cells in automated production flows and qualified to UN 4G/Y30 without strapping.
Thermoformed tray solutions for battery cells, engineered for nested transport efficiency, controlled handling, and compatibility with production environments requiring specified cleanliness performance.
Fiber-based expendable packaging solutions for battery modules, designed with fitted tray support to improve protection, handling stability, and compliance in transport operations.
Multi-material returnable solutions for battery modules, designed for automated handling, ESD protection, and UN-certified transport performance with customized or universal inner fittings.
Specialized packaging solutions for red-status battery packs, engineered for regulatory compliance, risk containment, prevention of consequential damage, and safer storage and transport.
Nefab supports automotive component supply chains that require both product-specific protection and production efficiency. From body and chassis components to interiors, drive units, suspension, steering, and brake systems, packaging must be adapted to part geometry, surface sensitivity, weight, and handling requirements.
Packaging also plays an important role in production and logistics performance. It needs to support efficient line-side handling, good pack density, consistent part positioning, and compatibility with automated and semi-automated flows. Nefab develops packaging solutions for automotive components that help manufacturers and suppliers protect part quality, improve handling, and support efficient production and transport.
Typical applications include:
Returnable packaging solutions for door frames, engineered to support dimensional stability, secure handling, and optimized transport efficiency across automotive supply chains.
Fiber-based packaging solutions for roof glass, developed to protect fragile surfaces, reduce transport damage, and improve material efficiency in distribution flows.
Protective packaging solutions for rotors, designed to prevent damage to machined surfaces, ensure secure part positioning, and support efficient handling and transport.
Multi-material packaging solutions for engine and drivetrain components, engineered to protect heavy and sensitive parts while improving pack density, handling safety, and logistics performance.
Fiber-based packaging solutions for stators, designed to protect sensitive electrical components, support stable transport conditions, and improve sustainability in the supply chain.
Multi-material packaging featuring wooden outer packaging and a VCI poly bag to protect against corrosion during storage and transport.
Nefab also supports truck component flows where larger formats, heavier weights, and demanding transport conditions place high requirements on packaging performance. From structural and exterior components to powertrain, suspension, steering, and braking systems, packaging must support load stability, safe handling, and consistent transport performance.
Stacking strength, dimensional accuracy, line-side accessibility, and returnable packaging durability are important in heavy-duty operations. Nefab develops packaging solutions for truck components that help customers manage these demands across complex supply chains.
Typical applications include:
Fiber-based packaging solutions for windshields, designed to protect fragile glass, improve handling stability, and reduce damage in transport and storage.
Protective packaging solutions for steering gears, engineered to secure critical components, support safe handling, and improve transport performance.
This protective packaging for truck differential parts consists of a metal rack with thermoformed trays designed to be stacked.
