When the World Cup attracts global attention, what people see is not just the competition itself, but also how a team achieves growth and breakthroughs through long-term investment.
The same is true for enterprises.
As Chinese new energy enterprises move to the global market, how to build broader recognition and trust is becoming a new topic beyond technology and products.
REPT is providing its own answer.
From June 23 to 25, REPT will bring its latest energy storage products, globalization layout, and sustainable development direction to appear at Intersolar Europe 2026 in Munich, Germany. At the same time, Inter Milan legend Lothar Matthäus will also come to the REPT booth to interact with the on-site audience, clients, and partners, jointly witnessing the reunion of the new energy industry and a world-class sports IP.
Growth First, Confidence to Be Seen
For an enterprise going global, the first question to answer is: whether it has the ability for long-term development.
In the past year, REPT submitted a scorecard with phased significance.
According to REPT's 2025 annual performance announcement, REPT achieved operating revenue of 24.334 billion yuan, an increase of 36.7% year-on-year; achieved net profit of 681 million yuan, realizing annual profitability for the first time. Annual lithium battery product sales reached 82.7 GWh, up 89.2% year-on-year. Among them, energy storage business revenue reached 13.561 billion yuan, up 86.8% year-on-year, becoming a key driver of the company's growth.
Entering 2026, this momentum has not slowed. In Q1 2026, REPT's household energy storage cell shipments and commercial/industrial energy storage cell shipments were both ranked first globally, with energy storage cell shipments ranking fifth globally. Meanwhile, REPT has been honored as Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 energy storage supplier for 11 consecutive quarters.
Behind these numbers lies the continuous accumulation of product reliability, customer expansion capabilities, delivery stability, and market recognition. Precisely for this reason, REPT's globalization is not a hasty "going out", but a natural next stage entered after operating capabilities, product capabilities, and customer foundations gradually matured.
Globalization is More Than Just Selling Products Overseas
For new energy enterprises, the first step of globalization is often products going overseas. But after truly entering the global market, the challenges enterprises face extend far beyond delivery itself.
Different markets have different expectations for product standards, service response, supply chain stability, compliance requirements, and brand trust. Especially in the European market, as the energy transition continues, customers' focus on long-term reliability, local service capabilities, and sustainable development capabilities is continuously increasing. These are invisible standards beyond contract terms that determine whether a supplier can be chosen long-term.
In recent years, REPT has continuously improved its globalization layout.
In 2023, REPT's European subsidiary was officially launched in Munich, Germany, becoming a key fulcrum for the company to expand into the European market. Since then, the company further improved its overseas operation system, establishing overseas subsidiaries in Germany, the US, Indonesia, Australia, Japan, and other places, and gradually forming a global marketing network covering Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and Africa. Among them, the first overseas base—the Indonesia base—is also under construction and will achieve production within the year.
In the European market, REPT is also continuously promoting project landing and customer cooperation. Currently, the company has achieved project delivery in multiple European countries including Germany, Belgium, Greece, and Poland. In early 2026, during the Italy International Renewable Energy Exhibition, REPT signed energy storage system supply agreements with 7 European partners with a total scale of 8.3 GWh, further reflecting the European market's recognition of the company's product and service capabilities.
This means that REPT's globalization is no longer just products going overseas, but is gradually building service capabilities, partner systems, and long-term operating capabilities for different markets.
Brand Globalization is Another Must-Answer Question
After products, technologies, and delivery capabilities gradually enter the global market, another problem arises: how to make global users truly recognize and understand a Chinese new energy enterprise?
This is exactly the background for REPT's choice to cooperate with Inter Milan. This May, REPT officially became the Global Official Battery and Storage Partner of Inter Milan Football Club. Both parties' cooperation is not just a handshake on the booth, but covers joint brand communication, fan interaction activities, and multi-scenario exposure in the future European market. For REPT, this is not a simple sports marketing, but an important attempt in its globalization brand building.
In the past, communication in the new energy industry revolved more around product parameters, technology roadmaps, and industry chain capabilities. These contents are crucial for industry clients, but in the broader global public vision, the brand also needs an expression method that is easier to understand and establish emotional connections.
Football has such power.
As one of the most influential clubs in European football, Inter Milan has a wide global fan base and cross-cultural communication capabilities. Leveraging this world-class sports IP, REPT hopes to, in a younger, more open, and internationalized way, build connections with global clients, partners, and users.
From this perspective, REPT's cooperation with Inter Milan is not just making the brand seen by more people, but is also exploring how Chinese new energy enterprises can, in a way with more global resonance, tell the stories behind their own technologies, products, and value concepts.
From Field to Market, Youthfulness is Not a Pose, but Reaction Speed
The World Cup is underway, and football is once again the topic of global common concern.
On the field, a team's growth is never decided by one match. It comes from long-term training, team collaboration, tactical accumulation, and breakthroughs at critical moments.
Enterprise growth is the same.
REPT was established in 2017 and began production the next year. From product delivery to annual revenue exceeding 10 billion, it took only 4 years, making it the enterprise with the fastest revenue exceeding 10 billion in the industry. In the past few years, REPT has completed the continuous advancement from rapid growth to profitability breakthrough, from Chinese market to global layout, from product overseas to brand building.
This "youthfulness" is not only innovative expression in brand visuals or communication language, but the organizational response speed when facing changes. When household storage demand warmed up in Europe, the company could quickly adjust production capacity and sales strategies, seizing the window period; when the global market proposed higher requirements for carbon footprint and battery tracing, the company could quickly promote compliance system construction such as battery passports; when the industry shifted from competing on scale to competing on profitability, the company could complete the key turnaround from consecutive losses to first annual profitability within one year—behind this turnaround lies the organization's keen judgment and fast execution regarding market changes.
For REPT, youthfulness and globalization are not two independent propositions. Youthfulness means stronger openness, connectivity, and innovation awareness; globalization requires the enterprise to continuously build trust and provide value in a more complex market environment. Both point to the same goal: becoming a new energy enterprise with solid technology, rapid growth, and international expression capabilities.
In Munich, Start the Next Encounter
From Shanghai SNEC to Germany Intersolar Europe, REPT and Inter Milan's interaction continues. But compared to a booth activity or a star appearance, what is more worth focusing on is the REPT globalization path presented behind this—a clear roadmap based on operating results, leveraged on products and services, and extended by brand building.
June, the World Cup ignites the passion of global fans; it is the same June when Inter Milan legend Lothar Matthäus will appear in front of the Munich Intersolar Europe booth.
When that player who once stood at the top of the world walks into the booth of a Chinese new energy enterprise and shakes hands and talks with clients and partners from around the world—this picture itself might be the best footnote to REPT's globalization story.
